A sensor chip includes first and second electrodes that are exposed from the sensor chip and are made from materials different from each other. The sensor chip further includes a detection circuit that detects a target substance included in an analyte, the detection circuit being driven by a potential difference between the first and second electrodes, the potential difference being generated by an oxidation at the first electrode and a reduction at the second electrode while the analyte contacts the first and second electrodes, the analyte including an electrolyte.
