a new cesium ion selective pvc membrane based on parent calix [4] arene was developed for potentiometric determination of cesium in environmental samples. the electrode based on p-5,11,17,23tetra(tertbutyl) 25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxy calix[4]arene(thc) as ionophor ,dibutyl phthalate (dbp)as plasticizer ,sodium tetra phenyl borate(natpb)and oleic acid as lipophilic salt and additive showed the ...

Local changes of the interfacial pH can significantly affect the rate and mechanism in the course of an electrodic reaction. For instance, different pH values will have significant effect on the equilibrium properties of both solution and surface species altering the reactions kinetics. Ethanol oxidation at platinum electrodes, in alkaline media involves a fast consumption of OH species that wi...

A glass electrode apparatus is described with which pH measurements can be made with as small volumes as 2 drops (about 0.14 cc.) of solution. Using this apparatus the change of pH of the vacuolar sap of Nitella, due to the penetration of brilliant cresyl blue, has been readily followed. The sap and the dye have been found to poison the usual type of hydrogen electrode.

To reply to the criticism of Drs Dobkin and Yeston, we first note that it is based on a previously published report by them and others,' which concluded that pH paper lacks clinical accuracy in guiding prophylaxis for stress gastritis and that reliance on its use would lead to a significant incidence of undertreatment. In two other studies, however, intragastric pH monitored continuously with a...

a highly selective electrode for bromide ion based on aza pyrilium derivative as an excellentionophore is described.the sensor exhibits a good linear response with a slope of ( 60±1 ) mv per decadeover the concentration range of ( 1×10-3 – 9×10-6 m ) , and a detection limit of ( 3×10-6 m ) of bromideions .the electrode response is independent of ph in the range of(4.0 –9.5).selectivity coeffici...

In the present study electrochemical detection of α-lipoic acid (α-LA) was carried out with a poly(Vanillin) modified platinum electrode p(VA)/PtE in Brinton Robinson buffer (BR) solution. The platinum electrode surface’s was modified with cyclic voltammetry method. The prepared Pt electrode was characterized by cyclic voltammetry in ferrocyanide and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. T...

The simplest transducer in the development of potentiometric biosensors is the glass pH electrode. Glucose oxidase immobilization was achieved using cellophane [1], nylon [1-6] or nitrocellulose [5,7] membranes that are subsequently fixed on the sensitive bulb of the pH electrode that senses the pH diminution, as a result of the biocatalytical reaction occurring in the enzyme layer (glucose oxi...

The voltammetric oxidation of all deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) monophosphate nucleotides is investigated for the first time over a wide pH range by differential pulse voltammetry with a glassy carbon electrode. Experimental conditions such as the electrode size, supporting electrolyte composition, and pH were optimized to obtain the best peak potential separation and higher currents. This enable...
