Drug delivery devices, sensors, and micropumps provided herein can utilize a reaction of an analyte triggered by an enzyme to drive fluid flow. In some cases, a drug delivery device can include a reservoir including a drug (e.g., insulin) and have an enzyme (e.g., glucose oxidase) positioned adjacent to said reservoir. The enzyme can catalyze a reaction of said analyte to drive a fluid flow adjacent to said reservoir to increase a release of the drug from said reservoir. A sensor for an analyte can include an enzyme bound to a surface and a flow meter to detect a flow of fluids adjacent to said surface. A self-powered enzyme micropump provided herein can provide precise control over flow rate in response to specific signals.
药物输送装置、传感器和微泵可以利用酶触发的分析物反应来驱动流体流动。在某些情况下,药物输送装置可以包括一个包含药物(例如
胰岛素)的储液槽,并且在该储液槽旁边放置一个酶(例如
葡萄糖氧化酶)。该酶可以催化所述分析物的反应,以驱动靠近所述储液槽的流体流动,从而增加从所述储液槽释放药物。用于分析物的传感器可以包括与表面结合的酶和流量计,以检测靠近所述表面的流体流动。本文提供的自供电酶微泵可以根据特定信号实现对流速的精确控制。
