Abstract

In this paper, we designed 4-channel electrolyte analyzer that can measure simultaneousely the 4 electrolytes - pH, $pNa^{+}$, $pCa^{2+}$, and $pK^{+}-$ using 2-point calibration and implemented it. Developed electrolyte analyzer consists of singal processing part, actuator part and control unit for sample flow system. To implement reliable instrument, design considerations are emphasized on flow system and sample chamber that requires small sample volume and prevent air contact with sample solution. In addition to the hardware design, we developed system software which controls full measuring process. After system developed, we verified the system performance by the test measurement for pH, $pNa^{+}$, $pCa^{2+}$, and $pK^{+}$ value.
