Abstract

The construction and evaluation of a Cyclic Olefin Copolymer (COC)-based continuous flow potentiometric microanalyzer to simultaneously monitor t he presence of potassium, chloride and nitrate in samples from the waterre cycling process, in future manned space missions, is presented. The main goals accomplished in this work are the integration of three ion-selective electrodes(ISEs) in a single microfluidic platform, the low reagent consumption and the good response characteristics achieved. The microsystem integrates, in a unique and small substrate, microfluidics and detection system. Analytical features obtained during the characterization of the microanalyzer meet the requirements needed for real aerospace applications.
