US Patent 7736478 Ion solution concentration-detecting device

An ion solution concentration-detecting device includes a working electrode, a reference electrode, and a link element. The working electrode and the reference electrode are inserted into the link element. The working electrode, inserted into the link element, is replaceable, for the better sensitivity to the different ion solution. The working electrode being a contact-detecting electrode can be replaced by another contact-detecting electrode with different sensing membrane. The reference electrode includes a polymeric membrane with ion material covering silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) electrode to provide a fixed and stable electrical potential. The working electrode may be a contact-detecting electrode having a sensing membrane. The sensing membrane may be a metal oxide or a polymer with ion material for measuring different ion solution effectively.
