  • Publication number: 20260168952
    Abstract: A reference electrode of an electrochemical sensor includes a substrate having internal walls defining a well and a channel. The reference electrode includes a conductive element disposed in the substrate. The well extends from a first surface of a substrate towards a second surface of the substrate. The channel is within the substrate. The channel has a first end connected to the well and a second end that is in contact with the conductive element. The reference electrode may include an additional well that extends from the first surface towards the second surface. The additional well may be connected to the second end of the channel and may be in contact with the conductive element. The channel and the wells form a flow path of a conductive medium. The flow path may be coupled to an agitating element or heating element that promotes flow of the conductive medium.

  • Publication number: 20250012759
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for reducing interference by one or more bubbles in a sensing assembly. Bubble prevention arrangements can use surfaces located in a fluid channel to provide surfaces with higher affinity for bubbles relative to the other surfaces so that the surface retains one or more bubbles within a bubble collection region; and/or to divert at least a portion of any bubbles passing through an opening in the fluid channel. Additionally or alternatively, bubble prevention arrangements comprise an agitation device configured to agitate liquid within the fluid channel. Additionally or alternatively, bubble prevention arrangements are configured to displace one or more bubbles in a region on or adjacent the sensing surface so as to reduce interference of one or more bubbles on the sensing surface.
