Abstract Although ion-selective membrane-based potentiometric sensors have already proved their analytical performance in several fields of life, applicability is still limited practice. Biodegradable, ionic additive-free, polylactic acid-based bulk electrode membrane matrix containing various environmentally friendly polyethylene glycol derivatives as plasticizer was developed for the first ti...

a new polyvinyl choloride (pvc) membrane sensor for cerium (iii) was prepared based on 4,13-didecyl-1,7,10,16-tetraoxa-4,13-diazacyclooctadecane (kryptofix22dd) as an ionophore. the sensor exhibites a linear concentration range of 1.0×10-6to 1.0×10-1m, with a nernstian slope of 18.0±1.0 mv/decade, and a detection limit of 9.7×10-7m. it has a fast response time (5 s) and can be used for two mont...

Clomipramine hydrochloride, active component of an antidepressant drug, was determined in the pharmaceutical formulation by two kinds of potentiometric sensor; a PVC membrane sensor and a carbon paste electrode modified by MWCNTs and ionic liquid. Both sensors were corporated with clomipramine-tetraphenylborate ion-pair complex and they respond based on ion exchange mechanism. The best PVC memb...

A silver ion-selective electrode was prepared with a polymeric membrane incorporating 2,6-bis-methylsulfanyl-[1,3,5]thiadiazine-4-thione as an ionophore, tri-n-butylphosphate (TBP) as a plasticizer and sodium tetraphenylborate (NaTPB) as an additive. The electrode exhibited a near-Nernstian response of 52 mV/decade over a wide linear concentration range of 1.0 x 10(-5) - 1.0 x 10(-1) M with a l...

A new oxymetazoline (OM) ion-selective PVC membrane electrode based on the ion associate of OM with phosphotungstic acid was prepared. The electrode exhibits a linear response with a mean calibration graph slope of 57.16 mV decade(-1) at 25 degrees C within the concentration range of 1.96 x 10(-5) - 1 x 10(-2) M OMCl. The change in the pH within the range of 1.0 - 9.4 did not affect the electro...

We assessed the magnitude of the errors in ionized-calcium measurements resulting from changes in electrolyte composition for three different ion-selective electrodes: the Orion Model 93-20, the Radiometer F2112, and the Simon neutral carrier membrane electrode. We attempted to distinguish between errors arising from changes in calcium ion activity and those due to interferences in the electrod...

In this work a new chemically modified carbon paste electrode was constructed for accurate, simple, sensitive and selective determination of molybdenum (VI) ions. The results of modified electrode by an ion imprinted polymer were compared with those obtained with carbon paste electrode. The results showed the stripping peak currents had a dramatic increase at the modified electrode. Under the o...
