The explosive growth in the healthcare and lifestyle application has fueled recent research efforts to increase both integration and adaptability in biosensor readout design. Potentiometric sensor is emerging as important sensing devices in the areas of biomedical applications since the pioneer work on pH sensor has been introduced (Bergveld, 1970). It has appreciable advantages over traditiona...

We report here on an electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) readout for potentiometric ion-sensors, thereby offering an optical sensor output without the need for a reference ion (typically the hydrogen ion) that inconveniences ionophore based optical sensor principles. The compartment for ECL generation is physically separated from the sample by a bridge, and no current flows through the sam...

a poly(vinyl chloride) membrane based on a new a-dioxime derivative as membrane carrier was prepared andinvestigated as a cr(iii) selective electrode. the electrode exhibits a good potentiometric response for cr(iii)over a wide concentration range 1.0 x 10-6 to 1.0 x 10-1 m with a slope 19.5+0.5 mv/decade and low detectionlimit of 8.9 x 10-7 m. it has a fast response time < 15 s. the best perfo...

A highly selective copper (II) coated graphite sensor was prepared by 1,13-bis(8-quinolyl)- 1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxatridecane (kryptofix 5) as a supramolecule ionophore into plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane. The best response characteristic was observed using the membrane composition of PVC = 30.0 mg, dioctyl sebacate (DOS) = 63.5 mg, palmitic acid (PA) = 3.0 mg and kryptofix 5 = 3.5 m...

One type of all-solid-state chloride sensor was fabricated using a MnO(2) electrode and a Ag/AgCl electrode. The potentiometric response of the sensor to chloride in synthetic concrete pore solutions was systematically studied, and the polarization performance was also evaluated. The results show a good linear relationship between the potential reading of the sensor and the logarithm of chlorid...

Polypyrrole coated copper nanowires were synthesized in a one-pot manner in the presence of cupric precursor and pyrrole. They displayed ultra-high sensitivity as a potentiometric sensor with considerable environmental stability comparable to noble metals.

in order to study the cu(ii) ion selective electrode, an optimized membrane was prepared by mixing of 30 mg of pvc powdered, 5 mg of considered ionophore, 60 mg of plasticizer and 5 mg of additive. the sensor showed a near nernstian response for cu(ii) ions over a concentration range from 1.0×0-6 –1.0×0-2 m with a slope of 28.90.5 mv per concentration decade with a working ph range of 3.5-6.3. ...

A PVC-membrane electrode based on a recently synthesized 18-membered macrocyclic diamide is presented. The electrode reveals a Nernstian potentiometric response for Co2+ over a wide concentration range (2.0 x 10(-6)-1.0 x 10(-2) M). The electrode has a response time of about 10 s and can be used for at least 2 months without any divergence. The proposed sensor revealed very good selectivities f...
