Abstract: The invention is a detector (15) which comprises: a probe (17) insertable into a drink; processing means (13) coupled to the probe; and an indicator coupled to the processing means; wherein the processing means is configured to receive a signal from the probe and compare said received signal with a stored reference to determine whether a liquid into which said probe is inserted includes a chemical impurity, the processor being configured to operate said indicator in the event that said liquid is determined to include a said chemical impurity. The invention is also a method of detecting a chemical impurity in a liquid of a drink, the method comprising: inserting a probe (17) into the liquid; connecting the probe to a source of electric potential; measuring a response of said liquid; comparing said response to a reference; determining whether a liquid into which said probe is inserted includes a chemical impurity; and indicating that said liquid includes a said chemical impurity.

Abstract translation: 本发明是一种检测器（15），其包括：可插入饮料中的探针（17）; 耦合到所述探针的处理装置（13） 以及耦合到所述处理装置的指示器; 其中所述处理装置被配置为从所述探针接收信号并将所述接收信号与存储的参考值进行比较，以确定所述探针插入到其中的液体是否包括化学杂质，所述处理器被配置为在以下情况下操作所述指示器： 所述液体被确定为包括所述化学杂质。 本发明还是一种检测饮料液体中的化学杂质的方法，所述方法包括：将探针（17）插入液体中; 将探头连接到电位源; 测量所述液体的响应; 将所述响应与参考进行比较; 确定所述探针插入的液体是否包括化学杂质; 并且指示所述液体包括所述化学杂质。
