Abstract

Disclosed is an enzyme sensor for measuring a predetermined substrate concentration by potentiometric or amperometric response on the basis of an enzyme. In one aspect, a solid-state enzyme sensor measures a predetermined substrate concentration by potentiometric response and includes a solid enzyme membrane-coated electrically conductive base, redox layer or ion-sensitive layer. In another aspect, a solid-state enzyme sensor measures a predetermined substrate concentration by amperometric response and includes a solid enzyme membrane-coated oxygen reduction catalyst layer. Also disclosed is an enzyme control layer for controlling the outflow and inflow of the enzyme layer.
