Abstract
A chemical sensor (,) for selectively detecting an analyte in a solution as described. The sensor comprises a flow-through chamber (,), a selective membrane (,), a transducer means (,), an inlet (,) for a liquid flow containing a recognition element, and an outlet (,). There is also described a method of selectively detecting an analyte in a solution, wherein a recognition element is contacted with the solution containing the analyte via a selective membrane, said contact resulting in a response detectable by transducer means. The recognition element is injected into a flow, the flow is passed into a flow-through chamber comprising a transducer means and the selective membrane, where it is contacted with the analyte passing from the solution outside the selective membrane, whereby the recognition element and the analyte interact to provide a signal which is detected by the transducer means. The use of the chemical sensor for detecting of analyte(s) in a reactor system, a flow system or in an in vivo system is also described.
