Abstract
A sensing system for detecting a substance in a dialysate. The system includes a hydrophobic barrier capable of allowing the substance in the dialysate to equilibrate to a gas; a detector capable of detecting the gas; an interface disposed between the hydrophobic barrier and the detector and configured to allow fluid communication of the gas; and one or more delivery mechanisms capable of transporting the gas from the hydrophobic barrier to the detector. A method of detecting ammonium gas in a dialysate is also provided.
Claims19
A sensing system for detecting a substance in a dialysate, comprising:
- a hydrophobic barrier capable of allowing the substance in the dialysate to equilibrate through the barrier to a gas;
- a detector capable of detecting the gas;
- an interface disposed between the hydrophobic barrier and the detector and configured to allow fluid communication of the gas between the hydrophobic barrier and the detector;
- and
- one or more delivery mechanisms capable of transporting the gas from the hydrophobic barrier through the interface to the detector and wherein the one or more delivery mechanisms allows the gas to move either back and forth within the interface, or forth to the detector.
