A method based on microwave-induced combustion (MIC) was applied for medicinal plants digestion allowing further chlorine determination by potentiometry using ion-selective electrode (ISE). Sample masses ranging from 500 to 1000 mg were evaluated MIC digestion. Water and 10, 25, 50, 100 mmol/L NH4OH investigated as absorbing solutions. The accuracy of the proposed certified reference materials ...

A nanocomposite membrane Cu2+ ion-selective electrode has been constructed using a new compound ethyl 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-methyl-2-oxopyrimidine-5-carboxylat (ETMOC) as a neutral ionophore. The electrode works properly. It responds to Cu2+ ion with a sensitivity of 29.5 ± 0.2 mV/decade over the range 1.0 × 10−9 to 5.0 × 10−1M at p...

In this work the ion-selective response of an electrolyte-gated carbon-nanotube field-effect transistor (CNT-FET) towards K(+), Ca(2+) and Cl(-) in the biologically relevant concentration range from 10(-1) M to 10(-6) M is demonstrated. The ion-selective response is achieved by modifying the gate-electrode of an electrolyte-gated CNT-FET with ion-selective membranes, which are selective towards...

The nanoscale spacing between a tethered lipid bilayer membrane (tBLM) and its supporting gold electrode can be utilized to determine the polarity selectivity of the conduction of ion channels and ion carriers embedded in a membrane. The technique relies upon a bias voltage sequestering or eliminating ions, of a particular polarity, into or out of the aqueous electrolyte region between the gold...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com immense number of publications appeared dealing mainly with the determination of the four “classical” metals easily accessible by inverse voltammetry on mercury electrodes, i.e., Zn, Cd, Pb and Cu. Along with such prosperity in voltammetry also potentiometry slipped into its golden age with the development of new ion selective membranes for many of ...

The ion-pair formation constant (K(MLA)(0) in mol(-1) dm(3)) for Li(B15C5)(+) with a picrate ion (Pic(-)) in water was determined by potentiometry with a K(+)-selective electrode at 25 degrees C and an ionic strength of 0, where B15C5 denotes benzo-15-crown-5 ether. Using the concentration equilibrium constants, K(MLA), estimated from this value, the extraction constants (mol(-2) dm(6) unit) of...
