摘要:
The reactions of single cells to particular substances in their environment can be established by means of signal converters. In a manner known per se, the potential difference between the interior and the exterior of a cell is measured by means of electrodes, whereby the cell is, however, damaged at least in certain places. Conventional methods which permit a recording of a cell reaction without intervening in the cell interior are either complex or limited in response. In a measuring technique, using at least one biological receptor cell, an asymmetric, extra-cellular, electrical potential of the at least one receptor cell is formed, which produces a multi-pole field and said multi-pole field is applied to determining the cell reaction. The asymmetry in the extra-cellular electrical potential of the at least one receptor cell which reacts to environmental changes can be achieved by, for example, embedding the at least one receptor cell in a bedding element which corresponds to the geometrical form thereof.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a measuring device which comprises a sampling cell as well as an electrolyte contained in said cell, wherein said device is used for detecting the quantity of a sample using a sensor. The active side of the sensor is in direct contact with the amount of sample to be analysed, while a diffusion barrier, such as a polymeric film readily available on the market, is used for separating the sample from the electrolyte.
