DIAMOND ELECTRODE FOR MEASURING GLUCOSE CONCENTRATION, AND MEASURING METHOD AND APPARATUS EMPLOYING THE SAME

摘要

A diamond electrode with which the concentration of glucose can be specifically and easily measured in a short time. The diamond electrode comprises conductive diamond and fixed thereto at least one member selected from the group consisting of nickel, copper, gold, platinum, palladium, ruthenium, iridium, cobalt, and rhodium. This diamond electrode has the property of electrochemically and specifically oxidizing glucose on the surface thereof. The concentration of glucose can be measured based on this property.
