    Abstract: An optical filter device, system, and method for improved optical rejection of out-of-band wavelengths is disclosed. For example, an analyte detection system is provided that includes an excitation light source for illuminating an implantable sensor and an optical detector for collecting emission light from the implantable sensor. Further, the analyte detection system includes an optical filter device arranged between the implantable sensor and the optical detector, wherein the optical filter device provides high optical rejection of out-of-band wavelengths of the emission light.

    Abstract: The invention provides methods for directing a localized biological response of a mammalian body to an implant disposed within the body. In one embodiment, a delivery system is positioned outside the body and adjacent to the implant within the body. The delivery system comprises a first tissue response modifier effective for directing a localized biological response of the body to the implant. The tissue response modifier is nonsurgically delivered from the delivery system into the body in a quantity effective to direct the localized biological response of the body to the implant. The invention also provides an implant system for long-term use comprising an implant and nonsurgical means for delivering a tissue response modifier through the epidermis of the body, the tissue response modifier effective for directing a localized biological response of the body to the implant.

    Abstract: An optical device is used to monitor an implant embedded in the tissue of a mammal (e.g., under the skin). The implant receives excitation light from the optical device and emits light that is detected by the optical device, including an analyte-dependent optical signal. Scatter and absorption properties of tissue change over time due to changes in hydration, blood perfusion and oxygenation. The optical device has an arrangement of light sources, filters and detectors to transmit excitation light within excitation wavelength ranges and to measure emitted light within detection wavelengths. Changes in scattering and absorption of light in the tissue, such as diffuse reflectance, are monitored. The light sources, filters and detectors may also be used to monitor autofluorescence in the tissue to correct autofluorescence background.

    Abstract: Some embodiments described herein relate to a method that includes receiving an optical emission signal from a sensor disposed in a vessel. The vessel can be configured for an in vitro biological process (e.g., a bioreactor), and the emission signal can be received while the sensor is in contact with a biological matrix. The emission signal can be received by a reader that is disposed outside the vessel. At least one of a presence, quantity, or concentration of an analyte can be determined based on the emission signal. Similarly stated, the emission signal emitted by the sensor can be dependent on at least one of a presence, quantity, or concentration of the analyte. In some embodiments, the emission signal can be an optical signal emitted by a sensor in response to the sensor being excited by an excitation optical signal emitted by, for example, the reader.
