Abstract: A device and method are provided using a sensor containing an electrode with an enzyme layer to determine a component in a liquid sample. Inlet and outlet channels feed liquid sample to and from the sensor surface. The inlet channel is placed an angle of preferably 1 to 80 degrees to the sensor surface, and an inlet channel end opening is at a distance from the sensor surface of preferably two fold or less of an inlet channel inner diameter. The angle and distance provide good measurement accuracy, stable measurement sensitivity and rapid response. The sensor may be vertically sandwiched between upper and lower parts, and be removable from the upper part. Liquid sample is continuously moved from the inlet channel over the sensor surface and discharged through the outlet channel. Liquid sample speed over the sensor surface is adjusted to provide sensor output in proportion to concentration of the liquid.

Abstract: In a portable measuring apparatus, a sensor holder for holding a sensor is fixed at an end of a main body, and a fitting member is fixed at the end of the main body. The fitting member has a groove formed on its outer periphery. A cap for encapsulating preserving liquid is provided and has a protrusion corresponding to the groove.
