Abstract A device for transporting and distributing a liquid comprising at least one internal liquid passage, a liquid introducing hole extending from the outer surface of the device to the liquid passage, and at least one liquid distribution opening extending from the liquid passage to the outer surface. The inlet of the liquid introducing hole is adapted to receive a port of a liquid injector in airtight relation therewith. At least one air discharging hole may extend from the liquid passage to the outer surface. An ionic activity measuring device is constructed by a combination of such devices. It comprises solid electrodes in contact with the liquid distribution openings and provided in a number equal to the number thereof, and at least one bridge extending between the liquid introducing holes, between the liquid passages or between the liquid distribution openings. The respective pairs of solid electrodes are able to selectively respond to a predetermined ion.
