Press release submitted on behalf of Linxens.
Linxens, Levallois-Perret, France, a global expert in the design and manufacture of electronic components for various sectors including healthcare, presents the development of a sensor for measuring pH in different environments. Thanks to its R&D laboratory located in Mantes la Jolie, Linxens has developed a pH sensor on a flexible substrate and adapted to customer needs, offering an economical and efficient alternative.
pH: An Essential Parameter
pH allows individuals to see and monitor many parameters. In fact, dry skin, very hard water, a poorly disinfected swimming pool, and an environment infected by microorganisms are some of the many phenomena whose state can be evaluated with a simple pH measurement. The data provided by the pH is applicable in various fields of activity to guarantee the quality, safety and efficiency of products and processes. For a long time, pH analysis was carried out only by means of pH strips, which are unreliable, or by means of electrodes in a laboratory with a pH meter or photometer; however, their use is limited.
An Innovative Solution for Multiple Applications
Linxens has found a reliable and economical solution with the pHSensor, developed by its R&D department and patented in 2019-2020. It is a potentiometric sensor using carbon nanotubes and a conductive polymer. This sensor maintains its effectiveness even in highly oxidizing environments. Thus, it is capable of collecting and analyzing pH information regardless of the environment.
pH is an essential parameter, used in many fields to quickly evaluate and diagnose the state of an environment. In fact, it can affect the stability, reactivity and safety of substances and is a primary indicator in many sectors of activity. Indeed, in the food industry, it is a guarantee of the quality of food, and in the environmental field it allows to verify the quality of water and soil, preventing environmental problems. In the medical field, pH analysis helps to diagnose and treat health problems and to monitor the healing process.
“Thanks to its expertise in the design and manufacture of electronic solutions, Linxens is able to offer high-quality products that meet the needs of its customers. The pH sensor is an example of Linxens’ commitment to innovate and provide cutting-edge solutions to meet current and future challenges,” said Catheline Ramsamy, Ph. D, Sales Manager EMEA at Linxens Healthcare.
