CRC CARE has developed a
novel technique for the real-time measurement of critical elements in solution
using Ion Selective Electrode Arrays. The technique includes a smartphone
application that has been developed to allow real-time reading of a multitude
of free ions simultaneously in solution.
probeCARE allows multiple common ions – sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride and nitrate – to be measured in complex solute matrices, even in coloured solutions.
Existing techniques utilise expensive and cumbersome laboratory equipment too large and heavy for in-field measurements. Consequently, process time and equipment costs can be prohibitive. probeCARE supports cost-effective, in situ, real-time monitoring, together with improved management strategies for cropping, improved fertigation, effective use of recycled water, and monitoring for possible pollutants to ensure EPA standards are achieved.
probeCARE is now available with a smartphone app and Bluetooth connectivity to truly support in-field measurement and continuous monitoring of critical resources.
