Since 1962 when Clark introduced the enzyme electrode, research has been intense for a robust implantable glucose sensor. An alternative "optical affinity sensor" was introduced by Jerome Schultz in 1979. The evolution of this sensor technology into a new methodology is reviewed. The approach integrates a variety of disparate concepts: the selectivity of immunoassays-selectivity for glucose was obtained with concanavalin A, detection sensitivity was obtained with fluorescence (FITC-Dextran), and miniaturization was achieved by the use of an optical fiber readout system. Refinements of Schultz's optical affinity sensor approach over the past 35 years have led to a number of configurations that show great promise to meet the needs of a successful implantable continuous monitoring device for diabetics, some of which are currently being tested clinically.
