Patent number: 8641972Abstract: The present invention provides a method for measuring a substrate concentration by accumulating an energy resulting from a reaction between a biocatalyst and a substrate recognized by the biocatalyst to a certain level; and using a dependency of an accumulation rate on the substrate concentration as an index; and a apparatus therefor. In particular, the present invention provides a method in which the measurement of the accumulation rate is carried out by measuring a frequency of an energy release in a certain amount of time when the energy accumulated in the capacitor reaches the certain level and is then released.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2012Date of Patent: February 4, 2014Assignees: Bioengineering Laboratories, LLC, Arkray, Inc., Ultizyme International Ltd.Inventors: Wakako Tsugawa, Koji Sode
