Enzyme electrode
First Claim
1. An enzyme electrode assembly which comprises a first electrode including at least one enzyme immobilized thereon for electrochemically detecting a substance to be produced in association with a reaction based on said enzyme, and a second electrode for electrochemically removing materials which interfere with said detection by said first electrode, said second electrode being disposed at the side of a test solution containing a substrate of said enzyme with respect to said first electrode.

Abstract
The disclosure is directed to an improved enzyme electrode which includes a first electrode having at least one kind of an enzyme immobilized on it for electrochemically detecting a substance to be produced in association with a reaction based on the enzyme, and a second electrode for electrochemically removing materials which interfere with the detection by the first electrode. The second electrode is disposed at the side of a test solution containing a substrate of the enzyme with respect to the first electrode.

6. An electrode assembly comprising a first electrode including at least one enzyme immobilized thereon for electrochemically detecting a substance to be produced in association with a reaction based on said enzyme, said enzyme electrode being made of a porous membrane having a thin layer of a metal or metal oxide layer on one surface and at least one enzyme immobilized on its opposite surface and a second electrode for electrochemically removing materials which interfere with said detection by said first electrode, said second electrode being also composed of a porous membrane with a thin layer of a metal or metal oxide on one side of the porous membrane;
said first and second electrodes being laminated such that the immobilized enzyme(s) is sandwiched between between the two porous membranes and the metal or metal oxide layers are located on the outer portions of the laminated structure.

7. An electrode assembly comprising a porous membrane having first a metal or metal oxide electrode layer located on one side with an enzyme immobilized on said layer and within the pores of the membrane to constitute a first electrode and a second electrode metal and metal oxide layer located in the opposite side of the porous membrane, said first electrode-functioning to detect a substance to be produced in association with an enzyme reaction, based on said enzyme and said second electrode functioning to electrochemically remove materials which interfere with said detection by the first electrode.
