ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a device which inhibits the growth of microorganisms on the surface of a primary sensor element, such as the oxygen permeable membrane of a dissolved oxygen cell or the electrode and junction surfaces of a pH cell, immersed in an aqueous culture of the microorganism. The device includes a source of an antiseptic or disinfectant having a slow aqueous dissolution rate that is supported by a carrier having a transport system to sweep the source across the surface to be protected and a drive system to actuate the transport mechanism in a repetitious or a cyclic fashion. In the preferred embodiment the antiseptic source is a copper or heavy metal plate on the end of a blade that is reciprocated across the exposed membrane surface of a dissolved oxygen cell by a spring biased electrical vibrator.
