Abstract

Provided is an electrochemical measurement device capable of measuring more accurately and an electrochemical measurement apparatus provided with the electrochemical measurement device. The electrochemical measurement device includes a base part, and a placement part on which an object to be measured is placed, the placement part being provided to the base part. The electrochemical measurement device also includes an electrode part provided near the placement part on the base part, a wiring part provided on a surface of the base part and electrically connected to the electrode part, and an insulator that covers the wiring part. Further, a protruding part is provided on the base part of the electrochemical measurement device so as to protrude past the insulator.

Claims

1. An electrochemical measurement apparatus comprising:

a base part;

a placement part on which an object to be measured is placed, the placement part being provided to the base part;

an electrode part provided near the placement part on the base part;

a wiring part provided to a surface of the base part and electrically connected to the electrode part;

an insulator that covers the electrode part;

a protruding part provided on an upper surface of the base part so as to protrude above an upper surface of the insulator; and

a peripheral wall part that surrounds the placement part;

wherein

the protruding part has an upper surface, an inner side surface connected to the upper surface of the protruding part, and an outer side surface connected to the upper surface of the protruding part and being opposite to the inner side surface, the inner surface facing the electrode part,

the upper surface of the base part has a portion extending beyond the outer side surface of the protruding part,

the peripheral wall part is provided on the portion of the upper surface of the base part,
