ABSTRACT:
An instrument for measuring the concentration of a wide variety of important chemical and biochemical substances is provided which comprises an enzyme based voltametric sensor, and electronic circuitry for conditioning an output signal from the sensor. The instrument includes one or more aqueous oxidase enzymes mechanically coupled to a polarographic cell oxygen detector wherein the concentration of a substance is inferred from measurement of the depletion of oxygen resulting from an oxidation reaction catalyzed by the oxidase enzyme. The electronic circuitry includes current to voltage conversion, nulling an unneeded base current signal, and temperature compensation.
