  • Patent number: 10619179
    Abstract: An electrochemical measuring method uses an electrochemical measuring device in which a measuring liquid is filled into a well. The electrochemical measuring method includes: a step of applying a measuring voltage to a working electrode and measuring a value of a first current flowing in the working electrode; a step of applying a non-measuring voltage to the working electrode; a step of introducing the biological sample into a container; and a step of applying the measuring voltage to the working electrode and measuring a value of a second current flowing in the working electrode.

  • Publication number: 20190277828
    Abstract: A state of a biological sample is measured by the following method. An electrochemical measuring device including a working electrode and filled with a measuring liquid contacting the working electrode is prepared. A biological sample is put into the measuring liquid. A measuring potential is applied to the working electrode to measure a current value flowing through the working electrode. An oxidation potential is applied to the working electrode to oxidize a surface of the working electrode. This method allows an ambient state of the biological sample to be measured stably.
