Concentration Measurements

The current research presents recent respective to the work development of a ceramic tubular probe for online substance concentration measurements. The aim was to develop a robust and acid-resistant sensor device, which can be easily included in existing procedural pipeline systems. To archive those goals a lot of factors had to be checked. For the substance concentration measurements a capacitive sensor effect was chosen. With this method even low substance concentrations down to one-tenth of a per cent can be indentified. For the package material zirconium oxide (tetragonal zirconia polycrystal – TZP) was used. Zirconium oxide is a technical ceramic which is wear-resistant, acid-resistant, has a low thermal conductivity, is electrically isolating and can be uses in a ceramic injection molding (CIM) process. In the phase of the sensor design process multiple geometries for the sensor effect and integration space for the evaluation electronics had to be considered. A standardized DN 10 DIN 32676 flanged joint was also added for an unproblematic connection to the pipelines. All these needed geometries had to be integrated into one ceramic element. As a result of these requirements a 3D CAD model of the sensor element was designed. The CAD-file has shown that there was only the CIM technology left to comprehend developed sensor geometry. CIM is a low cost process for large-scale production which is distinguished by high size accuracy. In the CIM process the material shrinkage, this is caused by the needed debindering and sintering steps, had to be considered. The developed ceramic tubular probe was successfully tested in multiple fluidic systems. It has left the test phase and is now ready for maturity phase.

Background: Magnesium is the second most abundant intracellular cation, with only a small proportion of the body’s content being in the extracellular fluid. It is required for the active transport of other cations such as calcium, sodium and potassium across the membrane by active transport system. It is also needed for many intracellular metabolic pathways. This study was carried to establish the reference intervals for serum magnesium substance concentration among healthy medical students in Uganda.Methods: This was purposive study in which ante-cubital venous blood samples were drawn without stasis from 60 healthy, natively Ugandan pre-clinical medical students and analysed without delay using Cobasintegra 400/700/800 automated analyser which flagged each result using the in-built seemingly temperate reference range of 0.65-1.05 mmol/L.Results: The distribution of serum magnesium substance concentration was unimodal, leptokurtic, and positively skewed with empirical range of 0.86 – 1.32 mmol/L. There was no result flagged as low. Twenty-six out of sixty (43.3%) results were flagged as high values while none approached 2.0 mmol/L, considered the threshold of hypermagnesaemia symptoms. Using the central 95 percentile, the reference range was set as 0.81 – 1.29 mmol/L which is higher and slightly broader than the 0.65 – 1.05 mmol/L often quoted for populations in temperate regions and in-built in automated analysers exported even to the tropics.Conclusion: Reference ranges were higher in the studied healthy young adults in Uganda than those in the temperate regions. Effort should therefore be made to enable our laboratories establish their own reference values.
