Looks good to me, but keep in mind Ive never actually done this before; this is just how I would go about it if I was building it. 
A correct appraisal of aquaculture farm status requires the monitoring of a number of compounds and nitrite ions are among them [5]. Parameters of best fit of sensor responses with the MichaelisMenten equation, the errors are calculated with 95% of confidence bound. For the scope, the CIE color matching functions (x, y, z) have been considered [27]. @ih57452 Thanks for your awesome ideas! Ions sensors are divided into two different groups: the normal ion sensor line and the PRO ion sensor line. Any advice on figuring this problem out? Even many commercial farms use them. Thanks, yes I designed and built it. divided into Single and Double. The cores of these systems, subbed as lab-on-chip, is the combination of microfluidic circuits, for handling minute quantities of samples and reagent [18], and sensors to detect and quantify the reaction products [19]. The only thing Im still unclear on is the water flushing: My thinking is you could take the test tube the kit comes with, drill a hole in the bottom, and connect the hose from the pump that draws the sample. Atlas makes a sensor kit http://www.atlas-scientific.com/product_pages/kits/do_kit.html? official website and that any information you provide is encrypted Chemicals cant be fed with worm gear and syringe technique as temperature variations are likely to spill or suck liquids. However, in this paper we have been mostly interested to test the platform respect to a colorimetric assay.
You could also mount them below the test tube. Best of Luck. Could you tell me more specifications of the monitoring system you use please?
I have already offer from the commercial service providers which are 1000$ and beyond my budget and more necessarily not required for a small aquaponic system.
I'm building a system to adjust pH based on the readings as well. The whole system is controlled by an Arduino nano board programmed with custom firmware. Gene expression of apoptosis-related genes, stress protein and antioxidant enzymes in hemocytes of white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei under nitrite stress. I found this conversation on Arduinos discussion board, but it doesnt seem to be resolved: http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php/topic,150564.0.html.
The strips are single-use, so you would either have to change the strip out each time, or design something to hold several strips at a time.
The introduction of electronic technology results in a paradigm shift that enables the change of management of farms with the consequent increase of production quality and quantity and the reduction of the environmental impact through optimization of resources used in the farming process.
In aquaculture systems, the normal concentration of nitrites is usually below 1 mg/L. How would the water sample enter from the bottom of the tube, but leave from the top? You should be able to share the whole lot on Hackster, if Im not mistaken. If anything starts to hit pre-determined boundaries for normal operations (based on my historical data and gut feeling) or swings quick, I have basic alerts set for text/email/calls. Publishers Note: MDPI stays neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. Im wondering if anyone would have information on compatible Spark sensors that are able to detect the presence and concentration of Ammonia/Nitrate/Nitrite in liquid solutions. Ciji A., Akhtar M.S.

This is why I need to find a solution to monitoring my nitrate level. I really wanted to create a portable kit made up of very standard and accessible cheap components and then open source the whole lot and create a purchasable kit from local suppliers for each continent.
PM if you have any questions. I assume you are running at a pH over 4 because if you were below 4 then your sodium nitrite would become nitrous acid and a) volatile and b) detectable on starch iodide papers. The sensor platform is complemented by a reagents reservoir of 15 mL each and a container for wastes.
The blend of these compounds occurs in the mixer section of the lab-on-a-chip which is designed as a meandered channel made of a sequence of large and narrow sections. This general approach of the platform design allows the use of the system with any other colorimetric assay for different analytes and different substrates. During the operation, the chip was kept upside-down to favor the leakage from the holes of the excess of non-vaporized ethanol. The sensitivity of Griess assay to nitrites respect to nitrates and phophates has been found, in a paper immobilized reaction larger than 80 times [25]. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Aquatic animals and plants are basic elements of human diets.
Highly integrated autonomous lab-on-a-chip device for on-line and in situ determination of environmental chemical parameters. Good luck. Im not entirely sure I see the big picture, though. I feel like I used to know, There are probes that comes with a water quality analyser (ThermoFisher Scientific) for measuring nitrite and nitrate (and a whole lot of other parameters like DO, TDS, pH, conductivity etc.). With that made, one could test for a huge range of chemicals, toxins, heavy metals, dissolved gasses Huge potential and extremely flexible. For the scope, a microspectrophotometer was simply leaned on the surface of the chip. An output RS232 connection is available to connect the system with other sensors or data aggregators (IADASIntegrated Autonomous Data Acquisition System). The limit of detection of Griess reaction can reach 0.02 M in a lab-on-chip [22] and 1 M immobilized on paper [25]. My only guess would be that the other end of the pump would connect to a container with the reagent, where the two would be mixed and the RGB sensor would read the intensity of the color. The chip is made of six layers. Would be interesting to see if there would be a market for a more affordable water quality sensor.

You can do all you data logging to a text file on an sd card, and you definately need a real time clock module to keep the timing good. Looking for an ammonia gas sensor through Google, I stumbled upon this page and had heaps of deja-vu. It's extremely sensitive to fluctuations in current(I believe), so I've ordered a second power supply for the sensor.
Three photodiodes are coupled with color filters (red, green, and blue) while the fourth detects the whole spectra and thus it provides the grayscale intensity. Furthermore, the use of the platform will be extended to other analytes of interest in aquaculture, for instance incorporating molybdenum assays for phosphate detection [33]. The first layer is the bottom lid, the second contains the mixer channel where sample and Griess reagents mixThe measurement consists in adding 40 L of each Griess reaction reagents to 1 mL of water sample. The frequency and the amplitude of the controller were adjusted to achieve the desired flow rate. Below are some relevant links and subreddits - consider them as well when you are posting or looking for additional information. Otherwise you will be prompted again when opening a new browser window or new a tab. The diazonium salt is then coupled to N-(1-naphthyl) ethylenediamine, forming an azo dye whose concentration is spectrophotometrically appraised based on its absorbance at 548 nm [14,15].
I used the CIELab color scale to most closely match human perception. Indeed both the examples reported above are based on modified Griess reagents formulation. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts, http://www.atlas-scientific.com/product_pages/kits/do_kit.html. Works great, but be very mindful of anything else running on that power supply.
Ammonia is going to nearly always be at or very near zero in an established and healthy system.
Layers were sprayed with ethanol and then quickly assembled in a custom aluminum holder pre-heated at 70 C [26]. You could use the dosing pump to draw in the water sample, but how would the reagent get added? Inlaid microfluidic optics: Absorbance cells in clear devices applied to nitrite and phosphate detection. Each group has its own reference probe, and the reference probe can only be used with the corresponding Chemical sensors are available for most of these compounds, however, operative conditions and continuous monitoring in water make the development of sensors suitable for long and unattended deployments difficult. The illumination was provided by a white led embedded in the spectrophotometer breakout board. I believe we can find something or there is something already in operation.
In contrast, many common ions give insoluble salts, e.g. Diphenylamine in H2sO4 yields a blue oxidation product which you will be able to track the conc.
I real-time monitor ph, tds, or, conductivity, and res. which will be useful to me to try out off the self. The color of the reaction product is measured with low-cost optoelectronic components. On top of that, I am even thinking about going for an optical sensor/probe for a better precision.
(D): calculated red, green, and blue signals normalized respect to the value at 0 mg/L. According to the instructions for the test kit, you take a 5ml sample and add 8 drops of 2 different reagents. The .gov means its official. Piezo pump hack. The system is very adjustable via a text file on the sd card for a number of variables, if you wanted to pm me ill send you the source code and wiring diagram. The symbiotic cultivation of plants and aquatic animals in a recirculating environment.
I want to thank @bko for the help with the current code Im using. An official website of the United States government. The uneven section was found optimal to avoid the formation of air bubbles and to achieve a complete mix of reagents and samples. There are a bunch of folks doing aquarium related projectshave you seen this thread? The method that test uses is supposed to turn the water green, so you might be able to put something red behind the sample so the sensor could be able to see a transition from red to yellow to green at higher ammonia concentrations. <> What Im wondering is if there would be a way to combine the color sensor with a liquid test kit as a way of testing. Seems like disolved oxygen would be very useful to know given how it fluctuates with temperature, stocking density, root mass, etc. Such a difference can be explained considering the limited properties of the low-cost optoelectronic devices and in the use of a commercial nitrite kit specific for nitrites detection for fish welfare. We fully respect if you want to refuse cookies but to avoid asking you again and again kindly allow us to store a cookie for that. Also, where would it go once it left the tube? Perhaps laser cutting thin Perspex, welding glue and nimble fingers could make one. I am trying out similar activity, can anybody link to the readily available ammonia sensor ? That is what my system uses. As mentioned on Arduinos forms there are few direct sensors and the only ones I know of are in expensive chemistry equipment. We may request cookies to be set on your device.
Additional sources, in particular in freshwater farms, include the overconsumption of fertilizers in the surrounding fields.
I lost a few fishes in my last holidays due to nitrate spikes. After cutting, the release liner was removed and the layers were piled up to form the whole chip. The mV reading, then, corresponds to the concentration of the ion for the particular ISE and pH that you are using. Please be aware that this might heavily reduce the functionality and appearance of our site. I hope someone would have an idea to do it.

www.brewpi.com I am currently using these sensors to build water temperature monitoring system. The development of microfabrication technologies prompted the design of systems t for the miniaturization of on-line analytical chemistry techniques [17]. The core of the developed sensor platform is a plastic lab-on-a-chip device that allows for the mixing of reagents and samples. (complex test) RGB transmission if colours change (like a wide range pH test). I bought some cheap piezo buzzers but never got around to building the cases and testing. Please share your experiences whether with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or any other IoT boards.
What software are you currently using to monitor the system @iotdev.kazi? That is what I was looking for. Accessibility Additionally, the total intensity of the spectra, corresponding to the gray level intensity of light, have also been calculated: The spectral analysis shows the feasibility of Griess reaction detection occurring inside the microfluidic chip. For the moment I do not have time to make it fancy. With the Meter for Arduino Boards you can measure up to 8 parameters simultaneously, using the technology of the multi-ion sensor. Ive yet to play with this but the $70 micro pumps are essentially 2 piezo discs in a 2 part injection mould + gasket. A step motor driving a worm gear fixed to a syringe can handle the pumping in and out of test water. Please check the complete parameters catalogue in this link. The concept is demonstrated with the detection of nitrites based on the well-known colorimetric Griess reaction. In this paper, a platform for automatic chemical assays is presented. In aquaculture farms them main concurrent compounds are nitrates and phosphates. There is too much variability such as small bubbles to just count screw thread revolutions and expect the right amount of reagent to be dispensed. Hi! 1130_0 and 3550. Above 20 mg/L nitrites are toxic for fishes and crustaceans [7]. Provided the LED, LDR and chemical solutions are the same brands and versions in each kit, calibration needs only ever be done once per colour chemical tester.

I purchased some small non-medical sterile saline blood bags to store the chemical solution. So here are couple pictures of my current project. Due to the limited amount of reagents, such a system can perform a large number of repeated measurements providing a long time monitoring of analytes. http://www.ebay.com/itm/6V-DC-DIY-Dosing-pump-Peristaltic-dosing-Head-For-Aquarium-Lab-Analytical-water-/281209901092?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item41796a9024. This subject is like a recurring groundhog day :D. Don't bother with ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH, or hardness sensors. To deal with colour identification, it may be possible to feed R G B values through a converter to give Hue, Lightness, and Saturation values. Measurements were repeated four times in random sequences.

Results show that even without a dedicated optical design, the minimum detectable concentration is smaller than the limits allowed for aquaculture farms are reached. The use of microfluidic systems is an emerging technology for the development of automatized analytical assays [13]. Unit could be activated remotely or on a timer and would do the required level of flushing as to obtain a new fresh batch of water for every test done. Nitrate drawdown during a shelf sea spring bloom revealed using a novel microfluidic in situ chemical sensor deployed within an autonomous underwater glider. Then you could have 2 more pumps to drip the reagents into the top of the tube. Cameras are really cheap nowdays and you can usually turn off the white balance if that concerns you. Liga A., Morton J.A., Kersaudy-Kerhoas M. Safe and cost-effective rapid-prototyping of multilayer PMMA microfluidic devices.
The selectivity of Griess assay can be limited in complex food samples or biological fluids characterized by the presence of antioxidants and pigments [24]. Im still looking to evolve the code so I can change the timing and duration via a webpage to make adjustments a bit easier, but Reading time: 27 mins It is important to know that it is not possible to combine the different groups of sensors (Single, I'd like to not have to spend too much money on them since this is for a non-profit that doesn't have loads of cash.
Walter A., Finger R., Huber R., Buchmann N. Opinion: Smart farming is key to developing sustainable agriculture. What are your thoughts? (B): spectra collected by the C12666MA spectrophotometer. Optical detection is particularly efficient from the point of view of the integration because it only requires optical access to the reaction product. JFIF ` ` C The color of the reaction products was measured with an RGB sensor ({"type":"entrez-protein","attrs":{"text":"TCS34725","term_id":"1588968900","term_text":"TCS34725"}}TCS34725, AMS Premstaetten Austria) endowed with an IR filter to limit the sensitivity to the visible range and a white led as a light source. In this assay, we have been interested to a system suitable for automatic repeated measurements and thus microfluidic device assisted the continuous uptake of sample, mixing with reagents and discharge with a minimal use of reagent per measurement. Khanfar M.F., Al-Faqheri W., Al-Halhouli A.A. Low cost lab on chip for the colorimetric detection of nitrate in mineral water products. Especially if the reagents are entering through the top of the tube as well? 100% correct. For drawing the sample and adding the reagent you could use something like this: https://community.spark.io/t/spark-spark-relay-controlled-peristaltic-dosing-pumps/4888, @ih57452 maybe something like this?

The spectra of the Griess reaction product were measured with an integrated spectrophotometer (C12666MA, Hamamatsu, Japan). Nitrogen compounds are natural metabolites, and the abundant use of proteinaceous feed and high density of fish are the main causes of excess nitrite concentration [6]. Spectrophotometric characterization of the Griess reaction in the microfluidic chip. The reagents mixing occurs without any magnetic stirrers but inside the microfluidic chip. The spectrophotometer was integrated into the Arduino shield endowed with a white LED as the light source for color measurement. It is compatible for Single ION holder, and Multi ION probe holder.

Bubbles no more: In-plane trapping and removal of bubbles in microfluidic devices. Furthermore, the evaluation of color parameters suggests that color detection retains the spectral changes in the reaction products. The concept of precision agriculture and farming is a significant field of research in the ICT community. I found solutions to monitor nitrate with a probe that can last 240 days with regular calibration. Press J to jump to the feed. You can use lenses that allow you to get very close to the sample. We need 2 cookies to store this setting. Given the importance of monitoring nitrites, several detection techniques have been proposed for this scope [8]. The integration of Griess reaction with a microfluidic system has been previously demonstrated to detect nitrites in oceans [20,21] and in natural waters [22]. I hope that my ideas help development at least on the physical design stage: Thats basically as far as I got.

The subject of nitrites sensors have been covered by several authors; recent review papers offer thorough comparisons between different sensor technologies and methodological approaches [11,12]. I can confirm that using a syringe for dosing works well.
halides precipitate with silver, and sulfate precipitate with barium. I am trying to put it together.
In visible light a spectrometer can separate white light and measure individual narrow bands of color, called a spectrum. Reduce your fish population and fix your nitralification sub-systen, which either is not working or is sadly undersized. I'm using the pH sensor and adapter for Arduino from phidgets, http://www.phidgets.com/products.php?category=36. In this paper, we presented a lab-on-a-chip platform for the automatization of the Griess reaction for the detection of nitrites in water.
A close view of the C12666MA spectrophotometer is shown in the inset. This shield can be compatible with our multiparametric solutions ( able to calibrate up to seven parameters at one) and readout pH + Calcium + Chloride + Sodium + Nitrate + Potassium + Magnesium + Ammonium at once. The chip was let to cool at room temperature to prevent cracks around the channels and holes. Check out YourDuino.com. of with the colourimeter, which is a cheap spectrophotometer.
That color sensor might work instead of a spectrometer with that liquid test kit, it just probably wouldnt be as accurate as a spectrometer. Spectra have been acquired at different concentrations of nitrites obtained spiking NaNO2 in distilled water. Furthermore, the optical arrangement of the colorimetric sensor is different from the spectrophotometric. The color doesnt actually change at higher ammonia concentrations, its just more saturated so it appears to humans as darker. The platform is centered around a lab-on-a-chip where reagents and water samples are mixed.
A weekly test is sufficient for nitrite and nitrate. Great prices. Create an account to follow your favorite communities and start taking part in conversations.
