ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The apparatus (10) for determining the activity of an ion (pIon) in a liquid (16) comprises a measuring circuit (10) including an ion sensitive field effect transistor (ISFET 12), a reference electrode (32) adjacent the ISFET (12), a temperature sensor (34) adjacent the ISFET (12), amplifiers (22 and 38) coupled to the ISFET (12) and temperature sensor (34), and control, computing and memory circuits (30, 44, and 46) coupled to the amplifiers and operable to maintain two of the following three parameters, Vgs (gate-source potential), Vds (drain- source potential) and ID (drain-source current) at a constant value so that the third parameter can be used for determining the ion activity or pIon. The pIon sensitivity of the apparatus (10), as a function of tem- perature and/or the variation of the drain-source current, ID, as a function of the temperature are controlled by controlling the Vgs so that the pIon can be calculated from a formula stored in the memory (46).
