Abstract

There is provided an electrochemical sensor 10 , including: a plate-like member 11 having a first surface and a second surface that are in a front-back relationship and a sample liquid supply channel 11 a arranged on a first surface side; a liquid reservoir 15 , which is arranged on a second surface side of the plate-like member 11 and into which part of the sample liquid flows, the sample liquid having passed through a downstream end 11 c of the plate-like member 11 that includes the supply channel; and a liquid sampling port 15 a serving as an inlet of the liquid reservoir 15 , which is spaced upstream of the supply channel 11 from the downstream end 11 c of the plate-like member 11 in a plan view.

Claims (13)

1 . An electrochemical sensor, comprising:

a plate-like member having a first surface and a second surface that are in a front-back relationship and a sample liquid supply channel arranged on a first surface side;

a liquid reservoir, which is arranged on a second surface side of the plate-like member and into which part of the sample liquid flows, the sample liquid having passed through a downstream end of the plate-like member that includes the supply channel; and

a liquid sampling port serving as an inlet of the liquid reservoir, which is spaced upstream of the supply channel from the downstream end of the plate-like member in a plan view.

2 . The electrochemical sensor according to claim 1 , wherein a through hole or a notch is provided in the vicinity of the downstream end of the plate member.

3 . The electrochemical sensor according to claim 1 , wherein at least one surface of wall surfaces of the liquid reservoir is a hydrophilic surface.

4 . The electrochemical sensor according to claim 1 , comprising an airway connected to the liquid reservoir.

5 . The electrochemical sensor according to claim 1 , wherein the plate-like member or a laminated member with the plate-like member includes a bent portion.

6 . The electrochemical sensor according to claim 1 , comprising:

a spacer member and a substrate laminated on the plate-like member,

the spacer member including: a notch in the liquid reservoir, and

the substrate including: electrodes in the liquid reservoir,

wherein a specific component in the sample liquid is detected, in a contact state of the electrodes with the sample liquid that has flowed into the liquid reservoir.
