A sensor in which an
ion-selective electrode is covered with a coating containing an enzyme which causes the reaction of an organic or inorganic substance (substrate) to produce a species to which the electrode responds. Alternatively, the sensor could be covered with a layer of substrate which reacts with the enzyme, co-factor or
inhibitor to be assayed.
