The present invention is directed to a sensor with opposing electrodes and test strips using this sensor. The invention can be used to measure blood or plasma coagulation in assays like prothrombin time (PT) and thrombin potential, for example, in point-of-care monitoring of anticoagulants. La présente invention concerne un détecteur comprenant des électrodes opposées et des bandelettes réactives qui utilisent ce détecteur. L'invention peut être utilisée pour mesurer la coagulation du sang ou du plasma dans des analyses de type temps de Quick et potentiel thrombinique, par exemple, pour la surveillance sur le lieu d'intervention des anticoagulants.
