Estimating the term…
An ion-exchange membrane has a mesh structure with microscopic pores in which water can infiltrate. When the ion-exchange membrane is incorporated in the sensor body, the one side of the membrane comes in contact with the sample solution and the other side thereof comes in contact with the internal solution. The water in the internal solution gradually migrates to the side of the sample flow path permeating through the membrane. When the sensor is used for extended periods of time, therefore, the sensor performance often decreases due to a decrease in the electric conductivity between the internal electrode and the ion-exchange membrane. An ion sensor comprising a flow path through which a sample flows, an ion-exchange membrane so provided as to come in contact with the sample in said sample flow path, an internal solution provided on one side of the ion-exchange membrane where it does not come in contact with the sample so as to come in contact with the membrane, and an internal electrode provided so as to come in contact with said internal solution, which are arranged in a sealed container, characterized in that the surface of said ion-exchange membrane that does not come in contact with the sample is coated with a two-liquid-mixed epoxy resin.
An ion sensor comprising a flow path through which a sample flows, an ion-exchange membrane so provided as to come in contact with the sample in said sample flow path, an internal solution provided on one side of said ion-exchange membrane where it does not come in contact with the sample so as to come in contact with said ion-exchange membrane, and an internal electrode provided so as to come in contact with said internal solution, which are arranged in a sealed container, wherein the surface of said ion-exchange membrane that does not come in contact with the sample is coated with a reaction-type adhesive.
An ion sensor comprising a flow path through which a sample flows, an ion-exchange membrane so provided as to come in contact with the sample in said sample flow path, an internal solution provided on one side of said ion-exchange membrane where it does not come in contact with the sample so as to come in contact with said ion-exchange membrane, and an internal electrode provided so as to come in contact with said internal solution, which are arranged in a sealed container, wherein the surface of said ion-exchange membrane that does not come in contact with the sample is coated with a two-liquid-mixed epoxy resin.
