Abstract

A novel inductance-based sensing technique is presented for remote query measurement in different liquid media including organic solvents and inorganic solutions. The inorganic solutions tested included salt solutions of different concentrations, and the organic solvents detected included 1,4-dioxane and tetrahydrofuran. To extend the application of the sensor, bacterial culture media were also detected, and the growth of Escherichia coli (E. coli) was controlled. The influential factors which may affect the inductance responses were studied in detail. It was found that quantitative relationships exist between the sensor’s inductance response and the physico-chemical parameters of the liquid media. The sensor’s inductance response (L) decreases with the increase of salt concentration (C) and its ionic valence (e) according to a semi-logarithmic equation LgL = aeC + b, where a and b are constants, which is in accordance with the theoretically deduced equation. The inductance variation rate (K)
