    摘要: Provided is a gas sensor which is capable of preferably sensing an ammonia gas, and has excellent durability. A mixed-potential gas sensor includes a sensor element composed of an oxygen-ion conductive solid electrolyte, and a heater provided inside the element. The sensor element includes on a surface thereof a sensing electrode formed of a cermet including Pt, Au and an oxygen-ion conductive solid electrolyte, and also includes a reference electrode formed of a cermet of Pt and an oxygen-ion conductive solid electrolyte, and a porous electrode protective layer whose porosity is 5 to 40% covering at least the sensing electrode. The Au abundance ratio in a surface of noble metal particles forming the sensing electrode is 0.4 or more. The concentration of an ammonia gas is determined on the basis of a potential difference occurring between the sensing electrode and the reference electrode when the sensor element is disposed in a measurement gas and heated to 400° C. to 800° C.

    摘要: In one embodiment, active (continuous or intermittent) passivation may be employed to prevent interaction of sticky molecules with interfaces inside of an instrument (e.g., an infrared absorption spectrometer) and thereby improve response time. A passivation species may be continuously or intermittently applied to an inlet of the instrument while a sample gas stream is being applied. The passivation species may have a highly polar functional group that strongly binds to either water or polar groups of the interfaces, and once bound presents a non-polar group to the gas phase in order to prevent further binding of polar molecules. The instrument may be actively used to detect the sticky molecules while the passivation species is being applied.

    摘要: 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 through the barrier to a gas. The system also includes a detector capable of detecting the gas and an interface disposed between the hydrophobic barrier and the detector and configured to allow transport of the gas between the hydrophobic barrier and the detector following a concentration gradient of the gas along the interface.
