Patent Images
1. A method for error checking an electrochemical sensor having at least two electrodes and a liquid measuring medium applied thereto comprising:
- determining a first admittance between a first set of electrodes of the sensor;
determining a second admittance between a second set of electrodes of the sensor;
determining a value using said first admittance and said second admittance; and
providing an error message if said value is out of tolerance.

14. A method for checking changes in geometry of a detection zone in a measuring chamber of an electrochemical sensor having at least two electrodes, the method comprising:
-
applying a liquid measuring medium to the electrodes of the electrochemical sensor; applying an alternating voltage to the electrodes of the electrochemical sensor wetted by the measuring medium; determining a first admittance between a first set of electrodes of the electrochemical sensor wetted by the measuring medium; determining a second admittance between a second set of electrodes of the electrochemical sensor wetted by the measuring medium; determining a value forming a ratio between said first admittance and said second admittance; and assessing the value if the value deviates from a reference state.
