Summary:The present invention relates to technology for constructing a reaction system including a test target, an oxidation-reduction enzyme, and an electron mediator, and measuring the concentration of the test target by an electrochemical process. A Ru compound is used as the electron mediator. The present invention provides a concentration test instrument including a substrate, first and second electrodes formed on the substrate, and a reagent layer formed as a solid. The reagent layer contains an oxidation-reduction enzyme and a Ru compound, and is constituted so as to dissolve and construct a liquid phase reaction system when a sample liquid is supplied.
