DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0014] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.

[0015] An electronic integrated multi-electrode detection system of a potential determination of the present invention comprises a multi-electrode array (10), a circuit unit (20) and a total signal output and acquisition unit (30). Referring to FIG. 1, the circuit unit mainly comprises a multi-electrode array signal input end (21), a high input impedance voltage follower (22), a phase shifting filter circuit (23), an extension module input end (24), a summing circuit (25) and a total output signal end (26).

[0016] A saturated calomel electrode is used as a reference electrode, a multi-electrode array is adopted as a working electrode, and an output signal of each of a plurality of electrodes is coupled to the electronic integrated multi-electrode detection system. A total output signal is obtained by the circuit unit of the detection system, and coupled to a potential acquirer to acquire signals.

[0017] The phase shifting filter circuit (23) is used in the circuit unit to invert a pair of signals from two electrodes, which can eliminate interference signals mainly based on a power frequency AC signal, reduce the background noise, and improve the detection stability.

[0018] The summing circuit is used in the circuit unit to sum the signals of the plurality of electrodes, and is combined with the phase shifting filter circuit to significantly enhance the detection sensitivity while maintaining relatively low background noise, so that the change in trace ion concentration in a sample can be accurately monitored.

[0019] Embodiment 1: linear relationship experiment. FIG. 2 is a linear relationship diagram under different ion concentrations obtained by using a chloride ion electrode, a fluorine ion electrode, and a pH electrode as working electrodes and a saturated calomel electrode as a reference electrode in the detection system of the present invention. Compared with the linear relationship diagram of a single electrode, we have found that the slope (1711.2 mV) (FIG. 2a, curve 1) of the electronic integrated multi-electrode detection system with 30 chloride ion electrodes is about 30 times of the slope (57.2 mV) (FIG. 2a,curve 2) of the single electrode; and the slope (564.7 mV) (FIG. 2b, curve 1) of the electronic integrated multi-electrode detection system with 10 fluorine ion electrodes and the slope (576.2 mV) (FIG. 2c, curve 1) of the electronic integrated multi-electrode detection system with 10 pH electrodes are about 10 times of the slope (57.3 mV) (FIG. 2b,curve 2) of a single fluorine ion electrode and the slope (57.7 mV) (FIG. 2c,curve 2) of a single pH electrode. The experiment proves that the sensitivity of the electronic integrated multi-electrode detection system based on the potential determination of the present invention is remarkably enhanced, and the enhancement level is proportional to the increase in the number of electrodes. The sensitivity of m electrodes is about m times of the sensitivity of the single electrode.

[0020] Embodiment 2: under the detection system of the present invention, titration experiments of different ion electrodes in different solutions are performed.

[0021] FIG. 3a is a diagram showing a change curve when a drop of 0.1 mol/L potassium chloride is dropwise added into 100 mL of 1.010.sup.3 mol/L potassium chloride solution in the case where a saturated calomel electrode is used as a reference electrode, and 30 chloride ion electrodes and a single chloride ion electrode are used as working electrodes. The change of the 30 chloride ion electrodes is about 30 mV (theoretical value is 29 mV), and the change of the single chloride ion electrode is 0.8 mV (theoretical value is 0.9 mV).

[0022] FIG. 3b is a diagram showing a change curve when a drop of 0.1 mol/L hydrochloric acid is dropwise added in 100 mL of buffer solution (pH9) in the cases where a saturated calomel electrode is used as a reference electrode, and 10 pH electrodes and a single pH electrode are used as working electrodes. The change of 10 pH electrodes is 24 mV (theoretical value is 23 mV), and the change of a single pH electroplate is 2 mV (theoretical value is 2 mV).

[0023] FIG. 3c is a diagram showing a change curve when 1.010.sup.3 mol/L hydrochloric acid solution is dropwise added to 100 mL of 1.010.sup.3 mol/L histidine solution in the cases where a saturated calomel electrode is used as a reference electrode, and 10 pH electrodes and a single pH electrode are used as working electrodes.

[0025] The experiments have proved that under the multi-electrode electronic integrated multi-plate detection system (FIGS. 3a, b, c, d in curve 1), the titration line change of multiple electrodes is significantly higher than that of a single electrode change (FIGS. 3a, b, c, d in curve 2). It is indicated that the detection system of the present invention can have a significant advantage in the detection of trace changes in ion concentration in the analyte.

[0026] Embodiment 3: baseline noise comparison experiment. It can be seen from FIG. 4 that the baseline noise of a single pH electrode (FIG. 4, curve 3) and two pH electrodes without a phase shifting filter circuit (FIG. 4, curve 1) is significantly larger than that of the two pH electrodes passing through the phase shift filter circuit (FIG. 4, curve 2). Experiments have proved that the electronic integrated multi-electrode detection system of the potential determination can effectively reduce the background interference and improve the detection stability. Accurate detection results can be obtained by greatly improving the detection sensitivity while maintaining low background interference.
