Abstract We have identified rare (approximately 0.2% of all samples), but clinically significant, discrepancies between serum or plasma sodium concentrations measured with the Kodak Ektachem 700's direct ion-selective electrode (ISE) method and concentrations measured with two other analyzers: the Beckman Synchron CX3's dilutional ISE instrument and the Radiometer KNA2 instrument for sodium-potassium analysis by the direct ISE method. The differences do not appear to be related to any previously identified sources of discrepancy, such as variations in triglycerides, bicarbonate, total protein, albumin, or gamma-globulin, the presence of paraproteins, or interference by benzalkonium chloride from heparinized catheters. They occurred despite the use of Gen 04 reference fluid on the Ektachem. We could not identify any drug or family of drugs that the patients had taken in common and that might influence the results. Until this problem is resolved, Ektachem users should be aware of the potential for discrepancies of > 6 mmol/L in measurements of sodium concentrations.

Abstract The chloride ion selective electrode is used for a rapid, simple, and reliable determination of chloride ion in biological materials (blood serum, urine, fish, and plant tissues), food products (milk, beef extract, nutrient broth and orange, tomato, and grapefruit juices), soils, and waste water (industrial and municipal). The method consists of treating the samples with perchloric acid (pH 1) and potassium peroxydisulfate and determining the chloride content either by a calibration curve or by known addition or analyte addition, using the chloride ion selective electrode. Such sample treatment eliminates most of the interferences occurring in the samples, including iodide, complexing and reducing compounds, and macromolecular and surface-active species. The method is suitable for a wide range of chloride concentration, e.g., 5010 ppm CI in nutrient broth and 4890 ppm in beef extract and as low as 12 and 80 ppm in soil extracts.

Abstract A rapid, simple, sensitive, and reliable determination of parts per billion (ppb) levels of chloride ion is described for high purity water or heavy water of pressurized and high temperature reactors, steam generators, and cooling systems by mercurous chloride-mercuric sulfide ion selective electrode. The method has been applied to heavy water samples of CANDU-type nuclear reactors as well as to the water of conventional steam generators. The manual method consists of treating 100 ml aliquots of standard solutions and water samples with 1 ml 2M HNO3. A calibration curve is constructed from the millivolt readings obtained in the standard solutions, and chloride ion concentration of the samples is determined by comparing the mv reading of the sample with the calibration graph. The automated and computerized version provides all operations automatically, together with a direct printout of the concentration and indexing. The electrode displays near-Nernstian response for the range 0.05–3.500 ppm chloride and can be used for concentrations as low as 0.02 ppm. Comparative tests and coefficients of variation are highly satisfactory.
