Abstract

A novel design of the light-addressable potentiometric sensor (LAPS) for realisation of a portable multisensor device is presented. Light sources and electronics including an oscillator, a multiplexer, a pre-amplifier and a high-pass filter are encapsulated in a pen-shaped case, on which the sensor plate is mounted. This sensor device is capable of measuring up to four different ion species by integrating different ion-selective materials on the sensing surface, each illuminated with an independent light source. The novel design of the sensor system is expected to make the measurement easier and to enlarge the field of practical applications.
