Potentiometric determination of chloride in biological fluids

New Validated Potentiometric Determination of Vasodilator Pentoxifylline in its Pharmaceutical Formulations and Biological Fluids

The construction and performance characteristics of pentoxifylline selective electrodes were developed. Two types of electrodes: plastic membrane I and coated wire II were constructed based on the incorporation of pentoxifylline with phosphotungstic acid (PTA). The influence of membrane composition, kind of plasticizer, pH of the test solution, soaking time, and foreign ions on the electrodes w...

Potentiometric analysis for sodium and potassium in biological fluids.

Results obtained with a potentiometric analyzer, NOVA 1, specific for sodium and potassium, were compared with those by flame photometry. Both instruments showed linearity within a physiological range of sodium and potassium concentrations and had similar precisions. Volume displacements from addition of albumin or Intralipid to aqueous samples yielded the predicted lower flame-photometric resu...

Sequential Potentiometric Determination of Nitrate and Chloride in Vegetables

A rapid and simple sequential potentiometric method is described for the determination of nitrate and chloride ions in vegetables, by using home-made ion selective electrodes. The extraction of both ions from the vegetable samples was effected by magnetic stirring of the samples during 30 min in water at room temperature. Direct Potentiometry was used as analytical technique for measurement. Th...

Direct potentiometric determination of sodium ion in blood. I. Potentiometric response in simple sodium chloride solutions.

We measured the emf of NaCl solutions (120-160 mmol/L) with a home-built cell in steady-state and with some commercial direct potentiometric analyzers about 20 s after the sample is introduced into the instrument. We compared the results with the theoretical sodium ion activity calculated according to different thermodynamic theories. The slope of the calibration graph was calculated with and w...
