Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus for measuring the concentration of a specific ingredient in a solution. According to one embodiment of the present invention, said apparatus comprises: a signal collector for collecting a plurality of signals emitted from a target in a selected volume of the solution, and one of the signals corresponding to the selected volume; detectors for detecting the signals; and beam splitters for splitting said signals and transmitting the signals to the detectors. The present invention provides an apparatus for effectively measuring concentration in-situ without the need of extracting the solution out of its original container.
