Zusammenfassung:A current measurement method for measuring a tunneling current in biopolymers passing through between a pair of electrodes includes arranging the electrodes in a liquid that contains an electrolyte and, while applying a voltage between the electrodes, measuring a current flowing between the electrodes via an electric double layer formed along surfaces of the electrodes. This enables measuring the current in consideration of the electric double layer. As a result, it is possible to more accurately measure the tunneling current in the biopolymers included in a liquid sample that contains an electrolyte.
