Abstract
Provided is a sensor unit () for detecting an analyte () in an aqueous medium. The sensor unit comprises a surface () for receiving the aqueous medium thereon. Capture species () immobilized on the surface reversibly bind the analyte. A detector () detects the analyte when the analyte is bound to the capture species. The sensor unit further comprises an electrolysis assembly (). The electrolysis assembly comprises a plurality of spatially separated electrically conductive areas () on the surface, and a power supply () for supplying a voltage across at least two of the electrically conductive areas. The voltage is sufficient to electrolyse the aqueous medium received on the surface. Further provided is a body fluid monitoring device () comprising the sensor unit, and a method for detecting an analyte.
