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.

Linxens presents the development of a sensor for measuring pH in different environments.

pH allows us to see and monitor many parameters. In fact, dry skin, very hard water, a poorly disinfected swimming pool, an environment infected by microorganisms… 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 but their use is limited.

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. It is thus capable of collecting and analyzing pH information regardless of the environment.
