Abstract
An innovative low cost pH optode concept for small sample volumes is presented. The pH monitoring is based on the color changing effect of phenol red, which is a well known reagent in nutrition media for cell cultivation. The optode includes an USB spectrophotometer, a controllable LED, some reactor slides and a self-written LabVIEW software. Spectral behavior at 450 nm and 560 nm is indicative of the pH value of the investigated samples.
