Abstract
Indicating panels adapted to provide a qualitative or quantitative indication of a characteristic of a liquid absorbed by the indicator panel. The indicating panels include a porous inner sheet that is impregnated with a first indicator selected to respond to a target analyte by creating a detectable response, and a porous outer sheet impregnated with a polymeric mordant selected to stabilize indicators.
Claims20
An indicating panel for an incontinence product, comprising:
- a porous inner sheet that is impregnated with a first indicator;
- wherein the first indicator is selected to respond to a target analyte by creating a detectable response;
- and
- a porous outer sheet adjacent to the inner sheet, wherein the outer sheet is impregnated with a polymeric mordant selected to stabilize indicators that generate detectable responses.

An indicating incontinence product, comprising:
- an absorbent core;
- a porous inner sheet adjacent to the absorbent core that is impregnated with a first indicator;
- wherein the first indicator is selected to respond to a target analyte by creating a detectable response;
- and
- a porous outer sheet adjacent to the inner sheet, wherein the outer sheet is impregnated with a polymeric mordant selected to stabilize indicators that generate detectable responses.
2 more elements
An indicating panel for an incontinence product, comprising:
- a porous inner sheet impregnated with a pair of coupled indicators;
- wherein the first indicator of the coupled pair is selected to respond to a target analyte by creating a reporting condition;
- wherein the second indicator is selected to respond to the reporting condition by generating a detectable response;
- a porous outer sheet adjacent to the inner sheet, wherein the outer sheet is impregnated with a polymeric mordant selected to irreversibly stabilize the second indicator that is generating the detectable response;
- and
- a reference panel disposed adjacent to the absorbent core, where the reference panel includes a substantially white and porous material.
