Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2004/040289
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A measuring instrument (1) comprising a flow path (60) for moving a solid component (B1)-containing sample liquid (BL) and providing a liquid reaction field, and first and second electrodes (31, 32) used to apply a voltage to the liquid reaction field. A first electrode (31) has an electron transfer interface (31a) for transferring electrons between it and the liquid reaction field when a voltage is applied to the liquid reaction field via the first and second electrodes (31, 32). The measuring instrument (1) has a concentrating means (51) for increasing the concentration of solid components at portions thereof contacting the electron transfer interface (31a) in the liquid reaction field.
