Abstract
A liquid electrode tip has a housing with a top, a bottom and at least one peripheral side wall. The housing has a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet. The liquid outlet is located at the top of the housing. A solution reservoir is positioned within the housing. The solution reservoir has a solution inlet in fluid communication with the liquid inlet and a solution outlet in fluid communication with the liquid outlet. A conductor is positioned within the housing with at least a portion of the conductor being submerged by a liquid in the solution reservoir. A staging area at the top of the housing is provided into which the liquid from the solution reservoir flows from the liquid outlet.
Claims20
A liquid electrode tip, comprising:
- a housing having a top, a bottom and at least one peripheral side wall, the housing having a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet, the liquid outlet being located at the top of the housing;
- a solution reservoir positioned within the housing, the solution reservoir having a solution inlet in fluid communication with the liquid inlet and a solution outlet in fluid communication with the liquid outlet;
- a conductor positioned within the housing, at least a portion of the conductor being submerged by a liquid in the solution reservoir, the liquid in the solution reservoir being a liquid to be tested;
- and
- a staging area at the top of the housing into which the liquid from the solution reservoir flows up from the liquid outlet.
