Abstract The influence of salts containing lipophilic cations and anions on the electrical resistance of the membranes of calcium ion-selective macro- and micro-electrodes based on a neutral carrier is described. The resistance of macroelectrodes was decreased by a factor of about 50 or of about 3 compared to membranes without and with potassium tetrakis- (p-chlorophenyl)borate, respectively. No significant reduction of the membrane resistance was achieved for microelectrodes. The lower detection limit and the Ca2+/K+ selectivity factor were improved for both types of electrode.

Abstract An electrically neutral hydrogen ion-selective carrier, tri-n-dodecylamine, is used as the active component for liquid-membrane electrodes. The observed ion selectivities are superior to those of previously described pH-sensitive liquid-membrane electrodes. The electrode characteristics permit the study of intracellular as well as extracellular hydrogen ion activities.

The current status of ion sensors in their main application, clinical chemistry, is highlighted. The reasons for the practical success of sensors in this particular area are discussed together with the expected influence of novel technical possibilities for the next generation of clinical ion analyzers. A series of recent research results, including the improvement of lower detection limits, the establishment of selectivities that are much better than reported so far, and new types of reference electrodes will very likely open up numerous new fields of applications of these sensors.

. A detailed analysis demonstrates that the selectivity pattern of such systems may be drastically modified only ifa)a mobile, positively charged site with a sufficiently strong and specific interaction with anions is chosen and/orb)an electrically neutral anion-selective membrane component is used.ZusammenfassungEine Reihe von 15 anionenselektiven Membranen, beruhend auf unterschiedlichen quaternären Ammoniumionen und auf verschiedenen Weichmachern, führt auch bei voneinander abweichenden Membranzusammensetzungen durchwegs zur Selektivitätssequenz:
