Abstract

Abstract PCT Filed Nov. 19, 1987 PCT Pub. No. WO88/04050 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 2, 1988. An insulative substrate (1) is coated with an electrically conductive layer (2) and a redox layer (3) which comprises an electrolytic polymerization film of 2,6-dimethylphenol, and the surface of the redox layer is provided with an enzyme-fixed (7). The enzyme electrode thus obtained exhibits a potentiometric response, and the enzyme-fixed layer has a strong adhesion. As a result, sensitivity is high, there is little drift and service life is prolonged. An ion-selective field-effect transistor can be used instead of the insulative substrate (1).
