ELECTRODE FOR ACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES AND SENSOR USING THE ELECTRODE

摘要

An electrode for active oxygen species, characterized in that it comprises an electroconductive member and, formed thereon, a polymer film prepared from a metal porphirin. The electrode for active oxygen species allows the determination, both in vivo and in vitro, of active oxygen species such as a superoxide anion radical and hydrogen peroxide, or OH, and other radical active species (such as NO, ONOO-), and thus can be used for specifying various diseases and for examining active oxygen species present in a food or water such as a tap water and a sewage.
