A chemical sensor is a self contained probe that provides in real time information about the chemical composition of its surroundings.
- Recognition (sensing), which consists of a specific interaction with a component of the sample (analyte). More>>
- Transduction, which represents the ensuing modification of a physical property, that can be converted into a measurable physical signal (electrical, optical, etc.). The signal is further employed for assessing the analyte concentration. More>>
What a chemical sensor looks like?
- Substitution of standard analytical procedures by fast detection and analysis using dedicated sensors;
- Automation of the analysis and monitoring of chemical quantities;
- Field analysis by means of portable instruments
- Industry: process analytical chemistry;
- Environment: automatic monitoring of chemical pollution
- Biomedical Science: fast and/or in vivo monitoring of drugs and biologically important compounds (e.g. O2, CO2 and glucose content in blood)
- Food industry and Biotechnology: automatic control of chemical parameters,such as pH, O2 and CO2 content, or nutrient concentration.

An application:
Measuring pH in meat
Measuring pH in slaughtered meat is
a good way to monitor product quality. A lance-shaped ISFET probe
(Sentron), with a large handle for good grip, is an ideal solution
for fast, accurate and most of all, safe measurements. More>> |
