1998 Electronic Sensing of Tastes Each lipid was mixed in a test tube with polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and a plasticizer (dioctyl
phenylphosphonate), which were dissolved in tetrahydrofuran. Successively, the mixture was dried in a glass plate, which was placed on a hot plate controlled at ca. 30 C. The lipid/polymer membrane thus prepared was a transparent, colorless and soft film with ca. 200 mm thickness.  Lipid/polymer membranes were fitted on a multi channel electrode.  멤브레인을 판에 붙였고 판은 basal acrylic board of 2 mm thickness.  그리고 1cm 아크릴 보드에 콘 모양 구멍을 형성하고 KCl로 채움.

Glass electrode is a hydrogen-ion responsive electrode usually consisting of a bulb, or other suitable form, of special glass attached to a stem of high resistance glass complete with internal reference electrode and internal filling solution system. Glass electrode is also available for the measurement of sodium ions.

The glass electrode, which consists of a thin wall glass bulb, has an extremely high electrical resistance. The membrane of a typical glass electrode (with a thickness of 0.03 mm to 0.1 mm) has an electrical resistance of 30 MΩ to 600 MΩ. The surface of a glass membrane must be hydrated before it will function as a pH electrode. When a glass surface is immersed in an aqueous solution then a thin solvated layer (gel layer) is formed on the glass surface in which the glass structure is softer. This applies to both the outside and inside of the glass membrane.

 

 
  A glass electrode (Fig. 1) is actually a device, not an electrode in an electrochemical sense of the word. It consists of a glass bulb membrane, which gives it its name and an electrically insulating tubular body, which separates an internal solution and a silver/silver chloride electrode from the studied solution. the glass surface in contact with solution becomes hydrated as water enters a short distance into the crystal lattice and causes it to swell. The “interior” of the glass remains dry. Some of the metal ions within the glass close to the solution boundary are able to diffuse into the solution, and some H+ ions are able to charge pair with oxygen near the glass surface. In this way, ion exchange equilibrium is established between the fixed negative sites on the glass surface and H+ , with an increasing number of charge pairs with H+ occurring as its activity in the contacting solution increases. This equilibrium can be expressed by H+/-O-Si- Ù H+ + - O-Siwhere H+/-O-Si- and - O-Si- represent oxygen sites at the glass membrane ion paired with H+ and unpaired, respectively.

Membrane: lipid+PVC+DOPP 150 um

Ref.: Ag/AgCl with saturated KCl

 

In biological taste reception, the lipids in the biological membrane are suggested to play an important role (Kurihara et al., 1986). Lipid membranes have been investigated in detail as a candidate of transducers of the taste sensor so far (Iiyama et al., 1986, 1987, 1989; Toko et al., 1986, 1987; Hayashi et al., 1989).

Ref.: Ag/AgCl/Cl− (3MKCl)

The solution of PVC, lipid material and plasticizer dissolved in THF was poured into a glass ring attached to a glass plate. Then the solvent was allowed to evaporate and polymer film was separated from the plate as a transparent and colorless membrane.

Polyvinyl alcohol A taste sensing material

Membrane: PVA+MA

Ref.: Ag/AgCl electrode enclosed in a glass tube filled with 100mM KCl and 1% agar.

PVA(10 g) and Maleic acid (MA)(4.5 g) were dissolved in 100 ml water at room temperature. The viscous homogenous solution of PVA and MA was cast on a petridish to prepare a mem- brane. After slowly drying in air, the membrane was heated at 70 ◦C for 2 h for esterification of some OH groups of PVA with MA. Then MA cross-linked PVA was phosphorylated by refluxing with POCl3 in THF at 70 ◦C for 1–4 h by using triethylamine as catalyst. Finally the phosphorylated membrane was washed with distilled water and dried.

Development and Evaluation of a Miniaturized Taste Sensor Chip

PC 위에 Ti/Ag 패턴(Sputtering & Photolithograpy, the silver and titanium were etched in a mixed solution containing 10 wt% NH3 and 30 wt% H2O2, using the patterned resist as a mask. The substrate was washed in ethanol.).  Ag/AgCl ink (Ag/AgCl Ink for reference electrode, BAS, Japan) was applied to the electrode.

A poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) hydrogel (pHEMA) was polymerized by irradiation with UV light as the electrolyte layer. In the first step, 4 μL of a HEMA mixture solution consisting of 60 wt% hydroxyethyl methacrylate, 38 wt% ethylene glycol, 1 wt% dimethoxy-2-phenylacethophenone, and 1 wt% tetraethylene glycol dimethacrylate was dropped onto the electrode with the adhesive tape and was polymerized by UV light (2–3 mW/cm2) for 4 min [Figure 2(a)].

Twenty microliters of the artificial lipid membrane solution was deposited twice on the pHEMA layer of the sensing site with the partition, and then desiccated at room temperature for 10 hours [Figure 2(b,c)]. Finally, the sensor chip was conditioned for 1 day in a solution of 30 mM KCl and 0.3 mM tartaric acid before measurement.

Electronic tongues-a review - IEEE Sensors Journal A lipid/polymer membrane comprising a lipid, polyvinyl chloride, and a plasticizer is used for the stage of receiving taste substances, the key technology of the taste sensor. The thickness of the membrane is about 200 μm and the membrane can be used about 3,000 times.

The commercialized taste sensor, i.e., the taste sens-
ing system (Fig. 1) consists of a working electrode with a lipid/polymer membrane used to receive taste substances, a handle, and a data processing unit. In the electrode structure, a Ag/AgCl electrode, inner solution (3.3 M KCl saturated AgCl) is contained in a polyvinyl chloride hollow rod with a lipid/polymer membrane attached (Fig. 3).
