Electrochemical sensor

摘要

An electrochemical sensor for the detection of an analyte comprises a first metallic housing member and a second metallic housing member. The first metallic housing member and the second metallic housing member are brought together in sealed connection to create a sealed enclosure therebetween. Contained within the enclosure are a first electrode, at which the analyte reacts, and a second electrode, at which a reaction complementary to the reaction of the analyte at the first electrode takes place. An acidic electrolyte is also contained within the enclosure of the first metallic housing member and the second metallic housing member.
