Definitions
- the invention relates to a measuring probe of a measuring device and an associated measuring method for measuring the concentration of agents in gases and / or liquids.
- the measuring device uses the change in electrical properties.
- the substances to be examined are brought into contact with the surface of the measuring device.
- the substance applied changes the conductivity of the surface of the measuring device as a function of its concentration.
- G01N 27/00 the analysis of substances using electrical methods.
- G01N 27/12 specifically considers resistance tests that change the resistance of a solid body depending on the absorption of a liquid. For this purpose, measuring probes with electrodes are used, which are considered in G01N 27/07.
- such measuring probes of the measuring devices consist of two suitably shaped electrodes, which are fastened on a carrier, and the conductivity of a suitable substance between them is determined as an indirect measured variable for determining the concentration of the agents to be examined.
- various, mostly specially optimized, substances are used, to which the substances to be adsorbing agents.
- the substance itself has a certain electrical conductivity, which changes as a result of the absorption and physical binding of the agents serving as adsorbents.
- Suitable substances are organic and inorganic semiconducting substances whose relative change in conductivity due to the adsorption of these agents is sufficiently large.
- both narrow-band and broad-band selectively acting substances are known.
- the change in the electrical conductivity is used to determine the concentration, since in the measuring range used there is a monotonous relationship with the concentration. It is possible to use an alternating field to measure the change in electrical conductivity and its other characteristic values, e.g. specific complex loss angle to be used in addition for the evaluation.
- the usable conductivity range can be represented in a suitable conductivity of the measuring probe by a suitable design of the electrodes.
- the proportionate influence of the adsorption on the part of the substance used for the measurement can be changed by a suitable design of the surface, for example pores, between the electrodes.
- the adsorption time is determined in particular by the type of substance layer and the substance temperature.
- a large number of such measuring probes for determining the concentration of various agents in gases are produced on ceramic carriers using organic semiconducting substances, preferably polymers. Due to the high air humidity and the high surface tension of water the substances of such measuring probes are provided with a thin film of water in a standard atmosphere. Because of its own conductivity, this results in an overall conductivity of the measuring device which is approximately an order of magnitude higher than that of the substances used. In order not to falsify the measurement result due to the absorption of moisture, such measuring probes are provided with a heating element or a separate temperature control, which heat the substance in such a way that the moisture film evaporates completely. As a result, these measuring probes necessarily work with the
- the usable measuring range extends with respect to the
- EP 0 328 108 A3 describes an electrochemical sensor for measuring the concentration of a chemical substance in a solution, two field effect transistors and a reference electrode on a substrate are arranged. A hydrogel is arranged as an "electrode" over the area of the channel of one of the two FETs and the reference electrode. Enzymes are used for substance detection which control the FET by changing the conductivity in the electrode. The detection of the type and concentration of the substance in the solution is done by evaluating the signal from the FET.
- This sensor is only suitable for the determination of relatively high concentrations in the range of a few ppm of substances in solutions. Agents in gases cannot therefore be adequately determined. Concentrations of only a few, selected substances can be determined.
- the hydrogel of the sensor can easily be irreversibly contaminated with interfering substances, which makes the sensor unusable. Due to the microstructures, complex microelectronic technologies are required to manufacture the sensor.
- the object of the invention is to develop a measuring probe and an associated measuring method which, while overcoming the above disadvantages, realizes a sensitive measuring probe for the detection of agents and their concentration in gases and / or liquids, these under different real measuring conditions without additional effort can be used and no heating element is required.
- the essence of the invention lies in the fact that a measuring probe in the form of a two-pole system is used to determine the electrical resistance of a sensor-active layer, in which a cover film is specifically formed from a liquid, for example water, which is formed over the substance of the sensor-active layer. is included in the active zone of the measuring probe.
- the cover film thus provides a combination of different partial conductivities, in particular the substance, the cover film and the active surface which forms between the two.
- molecules of the cover film are available as adsorbate for the agent of a gas or a liquid to be determined. With the targeted selection of the liquid for the Cover film, the adsorption properties can be optimized for certain agents.
- the measuring method according to the invention is specially designed for the measuring probe according to the invention. This is basically operated in saturation with regard to the adsorption of the liquid in the diffusion layer. In the basic state (0% agent + liquid in saturation) there is a comparatively high conductivity. In the presence of certain agents, depending on the type, these cause a hindrance / promotion of the movable load carriers or reduce / increase the number of movable load carriers. In this way, even the slightest traces of the gas to be detected have a potentiated influence on the electrical conductivity of the measuring probe and drastically reduce / increase the conductivity; the effect of reversible doping occurs on the surface of the measuring probe. This effect is effective even at relatively low concentrations of the agents to be determined and increases with increasing concentration of the agent.
- the result is a differential conductance of the measuring probe which decreases / rises with respect to the basic state.
- this can be used after a previous calibration to calculate the concentration of the specific agents.
- an equivalent circuit diagram of this sensor is advantageously used, which represents this as an electrical two-pole connection.
- the complex substitute sizes required for the description in the measurement window preferably correlate with the resistances and the thicknesses of the individual layers.
- the advantages of the invention consist in particular in the fact that the sensitivity of the measuring method is higher by at least two powers of ten compared to measuring probes without a cover film over the substance, the detection limit for agents to be determined is thus in the ppt (parts per trillion) range of the concentration of the agent. It is possible to carry out measurements under real conditions without additional effort, for example at room temperature in a normal atmosphere or inside the body of living beings. Long-term measurements for the continuous monitoring of concentrations of certain agents can be carried out without complicated equipment.
- measuring probes can be combined with other measuring probes in order to be able to take into account the influence of these parameters in the calculation in the method according to the invention, for example by determining the temperature and / or the humidity.
- measuring probes can be combined, for example, in an array with different structural dimensions and / or substances in order to include the selective properties of the substances with respect to certain agents in the analysis.
- sensors of this type are integrated on the carrier directly into the circuit of a controllable semiconductor element, such as, for example, the base or gate circuit. Further possibilities for using the measurement results of concentrations of certain agents arise when they are passed on to IT recipients via IT networks or telecommunications equipment to authorized recipients.
- FIG. 1 as a basic structure of the measuring probe.
- FIG. 2 as an equivalent circuit diagram of the measuring probe.
- a measuring probe 1 for agents in gases consists of a pair of electrodes 2, which are partially applied to a carrier 3, which can be designed as a surface elevation.
- a suitable solid substance 4 in particular an organic semiconductor in the form of a polymer, which reacts to the adsorption of certain agents 5 with a sufficient change in the conductivity, is located in a layered manner above this surface structure.
- the agents 5 to be analyzed are in a gas phase 6, which as the surroundings of the measuring probe spreads over the surface of the measuring probe 1.
- a cover film 7 made of water, which is formed by the finite atmospheric humidity of the gas phase 6.
- an equivalent circuit diagram for the individual layers and thicknesses of the measuring probe can be adopted in the form of a resistance network, which maps the measuring probe as an electrical two-pole connection in the permissible measuring window.
- Such an equivalent circuit diagram is preferably used as the basis for the calibration of the measuring probe 1 and the determination of the concentration of the agents 5 to be analyzed based thereon. This enables, in particular, non-linear imaging on essentially independent basic values that strongly correlate with the geometric design of the measuring probe. By using complex substitute variables in the form of resistors, the behavior in the alternating electrical field is also described.
- a parallel connection between an active and a reactance in each case characterizes the sheet resistances for the carrier 3, the substance 4, the active surface 8, the cover film 7 made of water and the gas phase 6 as well as a replacement resistor I 9, essentially depending on the thicknesses of the Electrodes 2 and the substance 4, an equivalent resistor II 10, essentially dependent on the thickness of the active surface 8 and an equivalent resistor III 11, essentially dependent on properties of the cover film 7.
- the thickness of the cover film 7, for example of water, is essentially dependent on the Temperature dependent.
- the individual sheet resistors are each connected in parallel, the equivalent resistors [9, 10, 11] being arranged on both sides between the sheet resistances of substance 4, active surface 8, cover film 7 and gas phase 6.
- the change in the overall conductivity of the sensor is registered via lines from the electrodes 2 and recorded and evaluated to determine the concentration of the agent.
