Device for detecting electrolytes in liquid samples
First Claim
1. A biosensor device for detecting electrolytes in liquid samples into vitro comprising:
- a tube having a lumen therethrough for the receipt and retention of liquid to be sampled for electrolytes;
a tube holder engaged at one end of the tube, said holder including a bore therethrough in fluid communication with the lumen of said tube;
an electrolyte-responsive biosensor positioned within the lumen of said tube at a location to be contacted in vitro by the liquid to be sampled, which generates an electrical signal responsive to the presence of one or more electrolytes in the liquid sample; and
means associated with said biosensor for measuring said electrical signal for the detection of electrolytes in the sample.

Abstract
A biosensor device for detecting electrolytes in liquid samples includes a capillary tube having a lumen extending therethrough. This lumen receives and retains liquid to be sampled for electrolytes. A tube holder is engaged at one end of the tube. This tube holder includes a bore therethrough in fluid communication with the lumen of the tube. A biosensor is positioned within the lumen of the tube. The biosensor is capable of generating an electrical signal responsive to the presence of one or more electrolytes in the liquid sample. Electrical contact elements are associated with the biosensor for measuring the electrical signal for the detection of electrolytes in the sample.
