The development of a new polarographic sensor for measuring simultaneously both N2O and O2, in either gas or blood, is described. The cathode is made of silver, and it is shown that silver deposition on normal platinum or gold cathode electrodes can result in an enhancement of a PO2 signal, when measured in the presence of nitrous oxide. Silver can be deposited on the cathode by means of Ag+ ions diffusing through the electrolyte from an Ag/AgCl reference electrode. The use of an Ag cathode enables both O2 and N2O signals to be measured.
