Abstract
Accordingly, the present invention provides an electrochemical sensor comprising at least two electrochemically active electrodes, a non-aqueous electrolyte system and a diffusion barrier membrane through which the analyte in its gas phase is mobile but through which the non-aqueous electrolyte system is substantially immobile. The diffusion barrier membrane thus allows an analyte in its gas phase to enter the sensor, while substantially preventing the non-aqueous electrolyte from exiting the sensor.
