摘要:
In an O.sub.2 sensor element which contains a fluorescent indicator substance, a polymerized silicone polymer is used as a carrier material in which the indicator substance is incorporated in solubilized form and in an at least approximately homogeneous distribution. Solubilization of the indicator substance may essentially be performed in analogy to Friedel-Crafts alkylation of aromatics, which will increase solubility of the indicator substance in the polymer carrier without affecting quenching behavior.

In an optical sensor used mainly for determining the partial pressure of O.sub.2 or CO.sub.2 in respiratory gas includes a sample measuring chamber through which sample medium to be analyzed flows or into which it is fed, a reference measuring chamber containing a reference gas or a reference liquid of constant composition, a light source, a unitary excitation filter positioned between the light source and first sides of both the sample measuring chamber and the reference measuring chamber, a single fluorescent sensor element on the second sides of both the sample measuring chamber and the reference measuring chamber, and first and second detectors for detecting the fluorescence radiation from the fluorescent sensor element respectively based on the light passing thereto from the sample measuring chamber and the reference measuring chamber.
摘要:
In a capillary reference electrode with a capillary body which comprises a measuring chamber connected through an electrolytic bridge to a test sample which is adapted to be introduced into a capillary bore, the inlet orifice for the electrolyte is arranged at a point of the measuring chamber which is in a low position when the element is installed and the outlet orifice is arranged at a high position of the measuring chamber. The electrolytic bridge is formed through a communicating passage which has a substantially conical narrow end adjacent to the capillary bore with a very fine communication bore leading to the capillary bore. The resulting economy in electrolyte-consumption and absence of sensitivity in respect of potentially occuring air bubbles are further improved by providing the said communication bore with a substantially annular cross section.
