Filling for optodes
First Claim
1. In an indicator chamber (optode) comprising an indicator and a membrane surrounding said indicator and impermeable to it, for measurement of concentration of particles by means of a light measurement system including a light source, a light receiver and readout means, the improvement comprising providing in a filling within said indicator chamber a substance which reacts with said particle to be measured and which generates through said reaction a reaction product which modifies the optical properties of said indicator, thereby allowing the preparation of highly selective indicator chambers with a broad range of applicability.

Abstract
In order to improve the selectivity of an indicator chamber or optode conting of an indicator and a membrane impermeable to the indicator and surrounding it, for use in the measurement of concentration of component particles by means of an optical light measurement system including a light source, a light receiver and a readout device, a substance which reacts with the particle to be measured is provided within the indicator chamber, and the reaction product then modifies the optical properties of the indicator.
