    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simpl and stably measure a concentration of each substance related to a biological reaction, a biochemical reaction or a chemical reaction with the use of common electrodes and apparatus without using special electrodes and apparatus for each substance. SOLUTION: A sample solution including a substance to be measured is borough into contact with a film 7 or column holding a labile substance which generates a pH change through a biological, biochemical or chemical reaction with the substance to be measured. A potential difference of two pH-sensing electrodes 5, 6 soaked in the sample solution before and after the touch in the liquid junction state is measured. The obtained potential difference is compared with a potential difference preliminary measured for a solution including the substance to be measured of a known concentration. A concentration of the substance to be measured in the sample solution is obtained in the method.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To accurately measure humidity with good linearity and high sensitivity by eliminating a memory effect by a constitution wherein a polymer containing a nigrosine and a cellulose is used as a humidity-sensitive film. CONSTITUTION: A quartz vibration humidity sensor 1 is so constituted that electrodes 4 of gold or the like are vaporized on both faces of an AT-cut type quartz vibrator and a humidity-sensitive film 6 is formed on that. A polymer containing a cellulose as a hydrophilic compound and a nigrosine as a hydrophobic compound is used for the humidity-sensitive film 6. The nigrosine is of the hydrophilic compound used as a pigment represented by a specific chemical formula. The cellulose can be one represented by a specific chemical formula or its derivative, e.g. a fatty acid cellulose triester such as cellulose acetate, a mixture compound or an ethyl cellulose is used. The film having the ethyl cellulose and nigrosine causes a good result.
