摘要 |
The disclosed invention relates to an amperometric gas sensor (10) for measuring the concentration of an analyte, such as hydrogen peroxide, comprising: a solid support (22); and a working electrode (24A) in contact with the solid support (22); wherein the analyte when in contact with the solid support (22) increases the electrical conductivity of the solid support. More particularly, the solid support (22) is made of a electroactive polymeric material, such as a poly (ethylene oxide) polymer complexed with LiSbF6. The monitoring of a sterilization process, such as the disinfection of medical devices, employing the amperometric gas sensor is disclosed. |
