Electrochemical sensor approximating dose-response behavior and method of use thereof |
摘要 |
The present invention provides an electrochemical sensor for the detection of an analyte, wherein the output or response of the electrochemical sensor approximates the dose-response behavior of a living organism upon exposure to the analyte. The electrochemical sensor comprises a housing including an inlet port therein to allow the analyte to enter the housing. The electrochemical sensor further comprises at least a first electrode and a second electrode within the housing. Electrical conductivity is maintained between the first electrode and the second electrode via an electrolyte system present within the housing. The electrochemical sensor further comprises a resistor in series electrical connection with the first electrode and the second electrode. This resistor has a resistance adapted to be sufficiently high such that the output of the electrochemical sensor over time at a particular concentration of the analyte approximates the response of a living organism to the analyte over time at that particular concentration. The present invention also provides a method of using an electrochemical sensor as describe above.
