Method and apparatus for monitoring redox reactions
First Claim
1. A method of monitoring changes of redox activity in a medium in vitro or in vivo which comprises placing into said medium a probe having a plurality of non-metallic electrodes exposed to said medium and whose surface admittance varies inversely with the reductive activity in said medium, and detecting the resulting changes in said surface admittance.

Abstract
A method of monitoring changes of redox activity in a medium in vitro or in vivo which comprises placing into the medium a probe having a non-metallic surface exposed to said medium and whose surface admittance varies with the redox activity in said medium, and detecting the resulting changes in the surface admittance of said probe. The method is particularly suitable for predicting or detecting the onset of ovulation in female mammals.
