Potentiometric sensor based on commercial pencil graphite electrodes coated with polyaniline (PAni) composite with Eosin Y (EY) termed as PGE/PAni-EY have been developed for potentiometric determination of silver ion. The electrode exhibited linear response with Nernstian slope of 57.6±0.8 mV per decade within the range of 1.0×10 to 1.0×10 M with limit of detection 6.5×10 M silver ion. Fast and...

The potentiometric response properties of ammonium-, carbonate-, and proton-selective electrodes prepared by incorporating appropriate neutral carriers within novel asymmetric cellulose acetate membranes are reported. The membranes are formed by first casting a thin layer of cellulose triacetate without carrier, hydrolyzing one side of this film with base, and then on the other side casting a s...

Recent advances in microelectronics and wireless transmission technology have led to the development of various implantable sensors for real-time monitoring of bladder conditions. Although various sensing approaches for monitoring bladder conditions were reported, most such sensors have remained at the laboratory stage due to the existence of vital drawbacks. In the present study, we explored a...

Here we report a smartphone-based potentiometric biosensor for point-of-care testing of salivary α-amylase (sAA), which is one of the most sensitive indices of autonomic nervous system activity, and therefore a promising non-invasive biomarker for mental health. The biosensing system includes a smartphone having a sAA-detection App, a potentiometric reader and a sensing chip with preloaded reag...

BACKGROUND Sperm motility evaluation is associated with fertility in IVF programmes. The visual estimation of sperm motility is extremely subjective. Hence, alternative methods are required. Among them, determination of mitochondrial membrane potential (Deltapsi(m)) changes of spermatozoa using potentiometric dyes may be a reliable test to determine sperm quality. However, the use of the potent...

The react ion rate of the cou lomet r ic variant of the Karl-Fischer t i t ra t ion reac t ion (in which electrolyt ical ly generated t r i iodide is used as ox idan t instead of iodine) has been measured in methanol . The react ion is first order in water , sulfur d ioxide and t r i iodide, respectively. For pH < 5 the react ion rate cons tan t decreases logari thmical ly wi th decreasing pH. ...

A potentiometric sensor for enantiomers has been prepared with no chiral additives, only cobaltabisdicarbollide and the protonated enantiomer.

Label-free detections of biomolecules have attracted great attention in a lot of life science fields such as genomics, clinical diagnosis and practical pharmacy. In this article, we reviewed amperometric and potentiometric biosensors based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs). In amperometric detections, CNT-modified electrodes were used as working electrodes to significantly enhance electroactive surfac...
