any such thing as a permanent ammonia/nitrate meter?

Hey is there any such product that will give you permanent ammonia/nitrate readings like a thermometer would? there are some products at petco for sale that are like meters for ammonia but only last a few weeks and are costly. It doesn't even need to be a pet product, if someone can refer me to a digital piece of equipment that can measure ammonia and nitrates that would be great.

Nitrate Monitor: Electronic nitrate monitor: Pinpoint Nitrate Monitor here ya go, let me know how it works cause for $250 im sure Ill never buy one.

The electronic monitors are the only "permanent" monitors I know of, and even they need batteries and calibration from time to time.
