Abstract
A biosensor according to the present invention comprises a support 1, a conductive layer 2 composed of an electrical conductive material such as noble metal, for example gold, palladium or the like, and carbon, slits 3a and 3b parallel to the side of the support 1, slits 4a and 4b vertical to the side of the support 1, a working electrode 5, a counter electrode 6, a detecting electrode 7, a spacer 8 which covers the working electrode 5, the counter electrode 6 and the detecting electrode 7 on the support 1, a rectangular cutout part 9 forming a specimen supply path, an inlet 9a of the specimen supply path, a reagent layer 12 formed by applying a reagent including an enzyme or the like to the working electrode 5, the counter electrode 6 and the detecting electrode 7, which is exposed from the cutout part 9 of the spacer 8, and a cover 13 which covers the spacer 8, as shown in FIG. 1.
The so-constructed biosensor can be formed by a simple method, and a biosensor which is excellent in a measuring accuracy as well as a biosensor in which a reagent layer is placed uniformly on the electrodes regardless of a reagent liquid composition, and which has a uniform performance can be realized.

45. An apparatus comprising:
-
a first insulating support and a second insulating support; a specimen supply path that is formed between the first and second insulating supports; a plurality of electrodes arranged in the specimen supply path; and a reagent layer arranged in the specimen supply path; wherein when it is judged by the plurality of electrodes that an amount of the specimen needed for specimen detection is supplied into the specimen supply path, substrate content included in the specimen is measured on the basis of a reaction between the specimen and the reagent layer, and wherein when it is once judged by the plurality of electrodes that the specimen is not sufficiently supplied into the specimen supply path and, thereafter, the specimen is supplied into the specimen supply path, the substrate content included in the specimen is not measured. - View Dependent Claims (46, 47, 48, 49)
