Abstract

An electrochemical sensor wherein the salt bridge is a unitary plug of semipermeable material which is saturated with an electrolyte. The plug has a spiral cut from its outer surface to the central bore of the plug. The spiral has at least one complete turn and starts at or near one end of the plug and stops at or near the other end of the plug. A layer of impermeable material is deposited in the plug to thereby form an ion impermeable spiral barrier.
