<p>A method for carrying out a check upon the responsiveness of a detection system employing an electrochemical sensor which comprises applying across the electrodes of the sencor a pulse or a series of pulses of potential greater than the decomposition temperature of the salt solution constituting the electrolyte of the sensor, thereby to induce a change in the electrolyte, and observing the response of the detection system to the induced change in the electrolyte, and an apparatus for detecting the presence of a component of a fluid employing an electrochemical sensor, including means for checking the responsiveness of the detection system.</p> |
