- Figure 1 illustrates glass piece 100 used in differential pH probe 150, in an example embodiment of the invention.
- Glass piece 100 is depicted as a tube, although other suitable shapes could be used, for example a generalized cylinder.
- a generalized cylinder is a cylinder where the cross section can be any shape.
- Figure 1 also shows glass piece 100 having a constant diameter along the length of glass piece 100. In other example embodiments of the invention glass piece 100 may not be uniform along its length, for example the different areas along the length of glass piece 100 may be different shapes and sizes.
- Glass piece 100 includes active areas 101, 104 and 108, in addition to, non-active areas 102, 106 and 110. Active areas 101, 104 and 108 are formed by pH sensitive glass.
- An example of pH-sensitive glass is lithium-ion conductive glass.
- Non-active areas 102, 106 and 110 are formed by non-pH sensitive glass. Note that alternative materials other than glass could be used for piece 100, such as pH-sensitive and non-pH sensitive polymers and plastics.
- both the active and non-active areas are integrated together to form a single piece of glass — glass piece 100.
- This integration could be accomplished by treating a single glass tube to form the active and non-active areas.
- the active and non-active areas could be formed separately from one another and then fused or glued together to form glass piece 100.
- active areas 101, 104 and 108 share the same axis making them co-axial with one another.
- the co-axial configuration allows for a large active area 101 while reducing the overall size of probe 150.
- the single piece configuration provides structural strength and requires fewer seals than a multiple piece configuration.
- Figure 2 illustrates glass piece 100 from Figure 1, in an example embodiment of the invention.
- Glass piece 100 now has seals 103, 105, 107, 109 and 111.
- seals 103-111 could be rubber, silicon, or some other suitable insulating material.
- the seals could be glass or plastic seals integrated as part of glass piece 100.
- Active area 101 and seal 103 form a first chamber referred to as the active chamber.
- Active area 104 and seals 105 and 107 form a second chamber referred to as the first reference chamber (or reference chamber one).
- Active area 108 and seals 109 and 111 form a third chamber referred to as the second reference chamber (or reference chamber two).
- the active chamber and the reference chambers may be axially aligned along the length of glass piece 100. Both the active chamber and reference chambers are typically filled with an electrolyte solution. In one example embodiment of the invention, glass piece 100 may also be called a container that is divided into the different chambers.
- FIG. 3 illustrates glass piece 100 from Figure 2 and also shows circuitry 120.
- Glass piece 100 includes active electrode 112 that is exposed within the active chamber and then runs to circuitry 120. Note that insulating tube 113 is used so that active electrode 112 runs through the reference chambers, but is not exposed within the reference chambers.
- Glass piece 100 also includes reference electrodes 114 and 115. Reference electrode 115 is exposed in the first reference chamber and then runs to circuitry 120 and reference electrode 114 is exposed in the second reference chamber and then runs to circuitry 120. In another example embodiment there may be a plurality of reference chambers with each reference chamber having a reference electrode running to circuitry 120.
- Probe 150 includes glass piece 100 and circuitry 120 as described in Figures 1-3. Probe 150 also includes conductive enclosure 130. Conductive enclosure 130 could be tube-shaped like glass piece 100, although other shapes could be used. In one example embodiment of the invention, glass piece 100 and circuitry 120 are placed within conductive enclosure 130. Glass piece 100 may also be called a probe container or a probe body.
- Conductive enclosure 130 includes seals 131, 132, 133, 134 and 135.
- seals 131-135 could be doughnut-shaped discs, although other shapes could be used in other examples. These disks could have much larger contact areas than conventional o-rings to provide better seals.
- Seals 131-135 could be rubber, silicon, or some other insulating material.
- Seals 131-132 provide a junction that allows electrical conductivity, but not fluid transfer, between buffer chamber one and the sample being tested. To provide this junction, seals 131-132 could be silicon disks with ceramic frits (tubes), where seals 131-132 are separated by a salt gel to form a salt bridge.
- a ceramic frit may be place in conductive enclosure 130 between seals 131 and 132.
- Seals 133-134 provide a junction that allows electrical conductivity, but not fluid transfer, between buffer chamber two and the sample being tested.
- seals 133-134 could be silicon disks with ceramic frits (tubes), where seals 133-134 are separated by a salt gel to form a salt bridge.
- a ceramic frit may be place in conductive enclosure 130 between seals 133 and 134.
- Buffer chamber one is axially aligned with buffer chamber two.
- a salt bridge is in between the two buffer chambers.
- the buffer chambers may be adjacent.
- Seal 131 seals the end of enclosure 130 so that active area 101 of the active chamber may remain exposed to an external sample, but so that the external sample will not enter enclosure 130.
- Enclosure 130, seals 132-133, and active area 104 form a first buffer chamber around active area 104 of glass piece 100.
- Enclosure 130, seals 134-135, and active area 108 form a second buffer chamber around active area 108 of glass piece 100.
- the buffer chambers are axially aligned along the length of the probe.
- the buffer chambers are filled with a buffer solution that maintains a constant pH.
- the buffer solution in the two reference chambers have a different pH value
- the first reference chamber may have a buffer solution with a pH of 7 and the second reference chamber may have a buffer solution with a pH of 5.
- the buffer solution in the two reference chambers may have identical pH values.
- glass piece 100 may have a plurality of active areas with a corresponding plurality of buffer chambers that contain buffer solutions having a wide range of different pH values.
- the plurality of buffer chambers may also have some buffer solutions with identical pH values. Having different buffer chambers containing buffer solutions with identical pH values allows the circuitry to detect when one of the reference chambers fails or becomes contaminated. Having multiple buffer chambers containing different buffer solutions with different pH values allows the circuitry to compensate for measurement drift and may increase the accuracy of the pH measurement of the sample.
- Circuitry 120 is grounded to conductive enclosure 130 by electrical line 140. Circuitry 120 is coupled to plug 155 by electrical lines 141. Thus, circuitry 120 communicates with external systems through lines 141 and plug 155.
- active area 101 of probe 150 is dipped into a sample whose pH will be determined. Note that seal 131 prevents the sample from entering enclosure 130.
- the sample (with unknown pH) interacts with active area 101 to produce a first voltage across active area 101. This first voltage is referred to as the active voltage and corresponds to the unknown pH of the sample.
- Active electrode 112 detects the active voltage and indicates the active voltage to circuitry 120.
- the buffer solution in the first buffer chamber (with known pH) interacts with active area 104 to produce a second voltage across active area 104. This second voltage is referred to as the first reference voltage and corresponds to the known pH of the buffer solution in the first buffer chamber.
- Reference electrode 115 detects the reference voltage and indicates the reference voltage to circuitry 120.
- the buffer solution in the second buffer chamber interacts with active area 108 to produce a third voltage across active area 108.
- This third voltage is referred to as the second reference voltage and corresponds to the known pH of the buffer solution in the second buffer chamber.
- Reference electrode 114 detects the reference voltage and indicates the reference voltage to circuitry 120.
- Circuitry 120 processes the active voltage and the two reference voltages to determine the pH of the sample.
- Circuitry 120 indicates the pH of the sample to external systems (not shown) that are plugged into plug 155. In one example embodiment of the invention, circuitry would process the active voltage and a plurality of reference voltages to determine the pH of the sample.
- Conductive enclosure 130 is typically held by hand during testing. Note that conductive enclosure 130 electrically shields the internal components of probe 150 (electrodes 112, 114 and 115 and circuitry 120) from hand capacitance. Conductive enclosure 130 also provides a ground. Note that conductive enclosure 130 could be stainless steel, aluminum, or some other conductive material. In one example embodiment of the invention, conductive enclosure may be coated with an insulating material on the inner surface, or have an insert placed inside the inner surface, isolating the conductive enclosure from buffer chamber 1 and 2 and the salt bridges (not shown). In one example embodiment of the invention, conductive enclosure 120 may have a conducting part and a non-conducting part.
- FIG. 5 illustrates differential pH probe 150 in an example embodiment of the invention.
- Temperature sensor Tl has been added to the active chamber to detect the temperature near active electrode 112.
- Temperature sensor T2 has been added to the first reference chamber to detect the temperature near reference electrode 115.
- Temperature sensor T3 has been added to the second reference chamber to detect the temperature near reference electrode 114.
- each reference chamber would have a temperature sensor.
- Temperature sensor Tl, T2 and T3 could be integrated within seals 103-111. Temperature sensor Tl, T2 and T3 are coupled to circuitry 120. Circuitry processes the temperature information from temperature sensor Tl, T2 and T3 to provide temperature compensation during the pH determination.
- temperature sensor Tl may be located on the outside of the active chamber (not shown) and be exposed to the sample and used to detect the temperature of the sample.
- temperature sensors T2 and T3 may be located in the buffer chambers.
- Figure 6 illustrates an alternative to glass piece 100. Note that some details from the previous figures are omitted for clarity. Glass piece 137 is now used for probe 150 instead of glass piece 100.
- Glass piece 137 is similar to glass piece 100 with active areas 101, 104 and 108 (not shown) and non-active areas 102, 106 and 110 (not shown).
- the variation from glass piece 100 is in the shape of the active chamber.
- Active area 101 is no longer a dome at the top of the glass piece, but is now formed by the walls of glass piece 137 in the same way that active area 104 forms the first reference chamber.
- the active chamber has the same geometry as the reference chambers.
- Non-active glass 161 is used at the top of the active chamber, although a seal could be used instead of non-active glass 161 if desired.
- the top of the active chamber may be protected by cap 160.
- Cap 160 could be rubber, metal, or some other protective material that is adhered to glass piece 137.
- FIG. 7 illustrates a variation for conductive enclosure 130. Note that some details from the previous figures are omitted for clarity. Glass piece 137 is used, but glass piece 100 could be used as well. Enclosure 130 now extends above the active chamber of glass piece 137 to provide protection. The extension of enclosure 130 must still allow the sample to contact active area 101, so openings in enclosure 130 should be provided for this purpose. The sample should still not be allowed to pass seal 131.
- the active and non-active areas of the probe may be formed separately and then joined together to form the probe container.
- Active pH sensitive material can be molded, drawn or machined into hollow tubes.
- a hollow rod or tube of pH sensitive material and a hollow rod or tube of non-pH sensitive material are cut into a plurality of sections. The end of a section of the pH sensitive material is attached to the end of a section of the non-pH sensitive material.
