Abstract
A sensor includes an analyzing part and a passage having two ends. One end of the passage is connected to the analyzing part. The other end of the passage is closed before use so that the inside of the passage and the analyzing part is sealed to prevent a contact with the outside. When the sensor is to be used, the other end of the passage is opened so as to provide an inlet for a sample.
