ELECTROCHEMICAL DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MEASURING THE REDOX STATE OF THE SKIN

摘要

The present invention relates to an electrochemical device for measuring the redox state of the skin, comprising: at least one working electrode, preferably a microelectrode; a counterelectrode; and a reference electrode, said electrodes all being fixed into a single support intended to allow each of said electrodes to be simultaneously brought into contact with the surface of the skin to be tested, the electrodes being connected, on the one hand, to a means for imposing a defined voltage between the working electrode and the reference electrode, such as a potentiostat, and, on the other hand, to a device for measuring the intensity of the current generated at the working electrode by the detection of redox species. The invention also relates to a method of measuring the redox state of the skin.
