摘要:
A biosensor for quantification of a specific component contained in various biological samples comprises an electrically insulating base plate, an electrode system including a working electrode and a counter electrode which are provided on the electrically insulating base plate, a reaction layer formed on the electrode system including at least an oxido-reductase, and an enclosure member having a hollow space constituting a sample supplying channel on the electrically insulating base plate, wherein substantially the whole of the reaction layer is exposed to the hollow space.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for measuring concentrations of the first and second substrates in a sample liquid by using a biosensor. The biosensor has an electrically insulating substrate, an electrode system, and a reaction layer including a first enzyme, a second enzyme and an electron acceptor. The method includes the steps of measuring a response current value I.sub.1 of a predetermined period of time T.sub.1 after supplying the sample liquid including the first and second substrates to the biosensor; measuring a response current value I.sub.2 of a predetermined period of time T.sub.2 after the supply of the sample liquid; obtaining the concentration C.sub.1 of the first substrate corresponding to the current value I.sub.1 based on the previously determined relationship between the concentration of the first substrate and the response current value of the predetermined period of time T.sub.1 after the supply; obtaining a response current value I.sub.1 ' corresponding to the concentration C.sub.1 of the first substrate in the sample liquid based on the previously determined relationship between the concentration of the first substrate and the response current value of the predetermined period of time T.sub.2 after the supply; and obtaining the concentration C.sub.2 of the second substrate in the sample liquid corresponding to the current value calculated by subtracting the current value I.sub.1 ' from the current value I.sub.2 based on the previously determined relationship between the concentration of the second substrate and the response current value of the predetermined period of time T.sub.2 after the supply.
摘要:
A biosensor for rapid quantification of a specific component contained in various biological samples with high accuracy has an electrically insulating base, an electrode system including a working electrode and a counter electrode formed on one face of the insulating base, and a reaction layer formed on the insulating base in close contact with the electrode system. The reaction layer contains at least a hydrophilic polymer, a buffer and an enzyme which is separated from the buffer.
