The present invention relates to devices, methods, and kits for quickly and easily measuring and monitoring the pH of aquatic environments, such as lakes, streams, drinking waters, fisheries, aquariums, pools, hot-tubs, and spas. The current invention includes devices that are reusable and capable of monitoring the pH in a reversible fashion, thereby allowing continuous pH sensing without a need for the user to physically perform pH tests. Operation of the invention involves placing the device into the aquatic environment and optically detecting a color change in the membrane, for example, by looking at the device, when a pH measurement is desired. In addition, the device is both inexpensive and reusable, allowing the user to monitor the pH of various aquatic environment at minimal costs.
本发明涉及用于快速简便地测量和监测
水生环境(如湖泊、溪流、饮用
水、渔业、
水族馆、游泳池、热浴缸和温泉)pH 值的装置、方法和套件。本发明包括可重复使用并能以可逆方式监测 pH 值的装置,从而可以连续感测 pH 值,用户无需进行实际的 pH 值测试。本发明的操作包括将装置放入
水生环境中,当需要测量 pH 值时,例如通过观察装置,光学检测膜的颜色变化。此外,该装置价格低廉且可重复使用,使用户能够以最低成本监测各种
水生环境的 pH 值。
