ELECTROCHEMICAL DEVICE FOR DETERMINING ANTIOXIDANT PROPERTIES OF THE SKIN

摘要

The invention relates to a device for determining antioxidant properties of the skin, including an electrochemical cell (1) which comprises a plurality of microelectrodes (31, 32, 33), means for generating and processing electric voltage between one of the microelectrodes, referred to as the reference microelectrode (32), and at least one other microelectrode, referred to as the working microelectrode (33), and means for acquiring and processing an electric current flowing between an auxiliary microelectrode (31) and said working microelectrode (33), in the presence of a target substance. All of the microelectrodes consist of deposits of electrically conductive materials formed on a single insulating substrate (2), such that the microelectrodes (31, 32, 33) are capable of being applied simultaneously against a skin surface.
