Electrodes for scanning ion-selective potentiometric microscopy (or potentiometric SECM) were developed and used to image local concentration profiles of NH4+, K+, and Zn2' ions. Neutral carrier-based micropipet ionselective electrodes with high spatial resolution (-2-3 pm) and fast response time (-300 ms) were fabricated and employed as potentiometric SECM tips, and highresolution ion-selectiv...

Bloodstream infections are a growing public health concern. Current pathogen identification systems based on complex and expensive devices, intended for use in centralized laboratories. Subsequent requires harmful chemical reagents, specialized personnel time. Here we describe new approach rapid decentralized diagnosis of positive blood cultures using electrochemical sensors. By implementing mu...

A novel PVC membrane sensor for the Sr ion based on 1,10-diaza-5,6-benzo-4,7dioxacyclohexadecane-2,9-dione has been prepared. The sensor possesses a Nernstian slope of 30.0 ± 0.6 mV decade over a wide linear concentration range of 1.6 × 10-3.0 ×10 M with a detection limit of 6.3 ×10 M. It has a fast response time of <15 s and can be used for at least two months without any considerable divergen...

An automatic system for acid-base titrations by electrogeneration of H(+) and OH(-) ions, with potentiometric end-point detection, was developed. The system includes a PC-compatible computer for instrumental control, data acquisition and processing, which allows up to 13 samples to be analysed sequentially with no human intervention.The system performance was tested on the titration of standard...

A highly selective PVC membrane electrode based on a cerium-salen complex was prepared. The sensor displays an anti-Hofmeister selectivity sequence with a preference for iodide ion over many common organic and inorganic anions. The proposed electrode exhibits a near-Nernstian behavior over a wide concentration range (5.0 x 10(-2) - 8.0 x 10(-6) M) with a slope of 57.5 mV per decade, and a detec...

Ž . Ž . An ion-selective field effect transistor ISFET was applied as a potentiometric detector in liquid chromatography LC for the Ž determination of organic acids. The ISFET was prepared by coating the gate insulator of the encapsulated transistor with a poly vinyl . Ž . chloride PVC matrix membrane containing methyltridodecylammoniumchloride, which enables the detection of organic anions. Th...
