Enzyme sensor
First Claim
1. An enzyme sensor which comprises an enzyme-modified electrode and a counter electrode, wherein the enzyme-modified electrode comprises, as electrode components, a combination of (i) an enzyme or an enzyme-containing substance or an enzyme and an enzyme-containing substance and (ii) a mediator, wherein the enzyme and mediator are, respectively:
- aldehyde dehydrogenase and p-benzoquinone;
fructose dehydrogenase and dimethylferrocene;
sorbitol dehydrogenase and dimethyl ferrocene;
glycerol dehydrogenase and potassium ferricyanide;
or alcohol dehydrogenase and a complex of potassium ferricyanide and a cationic surface-active agent.
