The present invention describes a new electrochemical biosensor comprising (i) a biocatalyst producing a pH change when interacting with the analyte to be determined and (ii) a compound exhibiting different redox properties both in its protonated and non-protonated forms (pH-sensitive redox compound). The elements described above are integrated in a biosensor system composed of a working electrode and a reference electrode connected to an ammeter. When the analyte is present, the system produces a current change that is proportional to the concentration of the analyte. The biosensors described herein can be used in the accurate detection of a wide range of analytes. They can be used in diagnostics, industrial processes, food and feed quality control, biotechnology, pharmaceutical industry, environmental monitoring and so on.
