A reagent layer (4) of a sensor (1) contains as a mediator a quinone compound having a hydrophilic functional group, phenanthrenequinone, and/or a phenanthrenequinone derivative. The quinone compound has a lower redox potential than a conventional mediator, so interfering substances have less effect on detection results with this sensor 1.

The present invention provides: a reagent composition having higher storage stability; a sensor involving the reagent composition; and others. According to the present invention, a specific heterocyclic compound is added to a reagent composition to improve the storage stability of the reagent composition and reduce the degree of fluctuation in current values in a sensor that utilizes reagent composition.
The present invention provides a sensor for detecting or quantifying a target substance contained in a liquid sample. The sensor comprises a quinone compound that accepts electrons released as a result of dehydrogenation or oxidization of the target substance by the enzyme; and at least a pair of electrodes, wherein the quinone compound contains a quinone and a substituent, wherein the substituent is hydrophilic. The quinone compound has a lower redox potential than conventional substances, so interfering substances have less effect on detection results with this sensor, particularly the redox potential of the quinone compound measured using a silver/silver chloride (saturated potassium chloride) electrode as a reference electrode is more negative than the oxidization potential of ascorbic acid.
Provided are an oxidizing agent for an electron mediator, said oxidizing agent including a trivalent iodobenzene compound; an analyte measurement reagent including the oxidizing agent; a sensor supporting the oxidizing agent; and a method for the electrochemical measurement of an analyte using the oxidizing agent.
Provided is a biological substance detection sensor used in an electrochemical measurement method and allowing high-precision measurement by reducing a blank current. A biological substance detection sensor of the present invention for analyzing a component in a testing solution using a mediator includes at least: an insulating substrate; a conductive part formed on a surface of the insulating substrate and including at least one pair of a working electrode and a counter electrode; and a reagent part disposed in contact with or in a vicinity of the conductive part and including at least one of protein and the mediator. The reagent part further includes at least one additive selected from the group consisting of a halide and/or a pseudo halide.
