Biosensor Chip and Biosensor Chip Production Method

Abstract

It is intended to provide a biosensor chip capable of rapid and correct measurement, including a reaction chamber that enables a measurement of a very small amount of a measurement sample and has a small capacity and potassium ferricyanide having a very small crystal particle size disposed in the reaction chamber. In a biosensor chip 1, electrodes 3 and 4 are disposed on the lower substrate 2, and lower spacer 5 (7 and 8) is adhered on the electrodes 3 and 4. An upper spacer 11 (12 and 13) is adhered to an upper substrate 15, and a lower spacer 5 is attached to the upper spacer 11 by and adhesive agent 10. A lower groove 9 is formed between long and short lower spacers 7 and 8, and an upper groove 14 is formed between long and short spacers 12 and 13, so that a reaction chamber 17 is formed by the upper and lower grooves 9 and 14. A capacity of the reaction chamber is 0.3 μL, and an enzyme 18 and potassium ferricyanide are disposed in the reaction chamber 17 in such a fashion as to oppose to each other with a gap being defined therebetween. A crystal particle diameter of the potassium ferricyanide is 100 μm or less, and amount of the potassium ferricyanide is V×0.1 mg or more when the capacity of the reaction chamber 17 is V.
