Clark cell with hydrophylic polymer layer
First Claim
1. Electro-chemical cell for determining a particular property or component of a fluid comprising a cathode electrode (1) and spaced therefrom an anode electrode (3), whereat a space engaging said electrodes is adapted for being filled with an electrolyte,and comprising a selectively permeable membrane (5) separating said electrodes and said space from the fluid characterized in that a thin layer (7) of hydrophylic polymer is provided between said membrane (5) and said electrodes (3, 4) covering at least the cathode (4);
- that the membrane (5) has at least one hole (6) in it for allowing an electrolytic component of the fluid to enter said hydrophylic polymer layer (7);
and that the distance (d) between the hole(s) (6) and the cathode (1) is larger than the width (w) of the cathode (1).

Abstract
An electro-chemical cell for determining a particular property or component of a fluid includes a cathode electrode, an anode electrode spaced from the cathode, an electrolyte filling a space containing the cathode and anode electrodes, a selectively permeable membrane separating the electrodes and the electrolyte from the fluid to be analyzed and a layer of a hydrophylic polymer provided between a membrane and the electrodes and covering at least the cathode wherein the membrane has at least one hole in it for allowing electrolytic component of the fluid to enter the hydrophylic polymer layer and that the distance between the holes and the membrane and the cathode is relatively large as compared to the width of the cathode.
