ABSTRACT:
A quartz oscillator for detecting a physicochemical change in a substance to be measured comprises a first electrode having at least two separate electrode portions for contact with the substance to be measured, and a second electrode. A chemical measuring instrument comprises a piezoelectric characteristic-measuring circuit having an output signal line connected to capacitors connected in parallel to the separate electrode portions of the first electrode of the quartz oscillator. An input signal line of the piezoelectric characteristic-measuring circuit is connected to the second electrode of the quartz oscillator. A voltage application circuit is connected to one of the separate electrode portions of the first electrode for applying a voltage between the separate electrode portions. An electrical current-measuring circuit is connected to the other of the separate electrode portions which is electrically grounded. The resonant characteristics of the quartz oscillator and the conductivity on the surfaces of the electrodes can be simultaneously and effectively measured.
