In this research, a coated graphite electrode was constructed for determination of Mg2+ in pharmaceutical supplements. The designed sensor demonstrates an ideal Nernstian slope (30.1 mV. Decade-1) over a wide concentration range (1×10-6- 1×10-1 Mol L-1). The selectivity of the sensor was evaluated over 16 different cations by matched potential method and no serious interference was observed fro...

A PVC-based membrane of 12-crown-4 exhibits good response for Zn2+ in a wide concentration range (7.08  10-5-1.00  10-1 M) with a non-nernstian slope of 20.5 mv per decade of concentration of Zn2+. The response time of sensor is <10 s and the membrane can be used for more than 3 months without observing any divergence. In addition, the proposed sensor exhibits very good selectivity for Zn2+ o...

New, simple and convenient potentiometric and spectrophotometric methods are described for the determination of dextromethorphan hydrobromide (DXM) in pharmaceutical preparations. The potentiometric technique is based on developing a potentiometric sensor incorporating the dextromethorphan tetrakis(p-chlorophenyl)borate ion-pair complex as an electroactive species in a plasticized PVC matrix me...

In the present study, we investigate the potentiometric behavior of Cu2+ carbon paste electrodes based on two mercapto compounds 2-Ethylmino-5-Mercapto-1,3,4-Thiadiazole (EAMT) and 2-Acetylamino-5-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (AAMT) self-assembled on gold nano-paricle (GNP) as ionophore. Then, the results obtained from the modified electrodes are compared. The self-assembled ionophores exhibit a ...

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. ...

In this work, a planar solid-state potentiometric CO2 sensor for medical applications of the type CO2, O2, Au, Li2CO3-BaCO3 | Nasicon | Na2Ti6O13-TiO2, Au, O2, CO2 was developed in thick-film technology. Due to an integrated screen-printed platinum heater on the rear side, the sensor can be applied without changing its working temperature of 525°C in the main flow of the respiratory air of an i...
