Abstract
A method for measuring the concentration of low molecular weight saccharides in a liquid by placing the liquid in contact with one side of a membrane which allows saccharides to pass through, but not polysaccharides. A detecting liquid containing polysaccharides is placed in contact with the other side of the membrane. The detecting liquid is also in contact with a ligand which has a higher affinity for the saccharides than for the polysaccharides. The concentration of saccharides is calculated from the measured change in the concentration of polysaccharides in the detecting liquid. A sensor for measuring the concentration of low molecular weight saccharides based on the same method is also described.
