Miniaturized sensor component for measuring concentrations of substances in liquids, and method of manufacturing such a component
First Claim
1. In a miniaturized sensor component for measuring concentrations of substances in liquids and comprising a support that contains cavities accommodating a membrane, whereby the membrane is produced in situ by polymerization or by precipitation from a solution, an electric lead is either mechanically connected to or integrated into the membrane and is in contact with the membrane, the improvement wherein the membrane support is a capillarized solid and the membrane is produced in the capillaries by impregnating the support with a liquid, comprising membrane forming material and active components, that subsequently either polymerizes or evaporates leaving a residue.

Abstract
A miniaturized sensor component for measuring concentrations of substances in liquids comprises a support that contains cavities accommodating a membrane. The membrane is produced in situ by polymerization or by precipitation from a solution. An electric lead is either mechanically connected to or integrated into the membrane and is in contact with the membrane. The membrane support is a capillarized solid and the membrane is produced in the capillaries by impregnating the support with a liquid that subsequently either polymerizes or evaporates leaving a residue.
