Popis: Currently, the study of ion composition and performance in human biofluids plays an important role in biomedical engineering research and technology. This field may become universal for human diagnostics; it allows early detection of different diseases in humans by measuring changes in ion behaviour in human biofluids. Practical experiments were conducted to analyse the liquid composite electrolyte conductivity in an alternating electric current field. These experiments allow the contribution of separate types of ions to the overall conductivity to be estimated. The method of estimating the concentration of active ions contained in biofluids is also introduced; it illustrates the possibility of performing qualitative and quantitative analysis over a wide range of concentrations and compositions. The authors present a procedure to determine the concentration of active liquid ions based on conductivity gain-frequency characteristic curve tracing. The experimental results validate the practical use of the proposed method. The results of this research are promising, and further investigation is required to further improve the method.
