DEFINITION

Classification: 422/82.06

Optode or optrode:

(under subclass 82.05) Apparatus wherein the means for detecting an optical property is an optode or optrode; i.e., an optical detection apparatus that includes an optical indicator which is set apart from the material to be analyzed by a semipermeable membrane.

(1) Note. In such apparatus, the substance to be measured in the material to be analyzed permeates through the semipermeable membrane reacting with the indicator to produce an optical response that is detected by an optical detector; e.g., a fluorescence detector or a color detector.
