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.

Titration of sulphates with lead perchlorate employing lead ion selective electrode indication was studied using additions of various organic solvents at different pH' and ionic strength values. As the optimum emerged systems with 60-70% 1,4-dioxane, pH' 5.3-5.6. After dehydration with sodium hydroxide, dioxane must be freed from the electrode surface-oxidizing impurities by their reduction with sodium metal and subsequent distillation. The method was applied to determination of sulphates in mountain spring waters. Units of ppm can be determined; the limit of determination, however, depends considerably on the content of dioxane, total salt content in the sample, and speed of the semi-automatic titration. Lead can be determined with EDTA in concentrations down to c(Pb2+) = 5 . 10-6 mol l-1.

The conventional activity of chloride ions was measured by an ion-selective electrode at 25 °C in aqueous solutions of benflurone, i.e. 5-(2-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethoxy)-7-oxo-7H-benzo(c)fluorene hydrochloride, without or with additions of KCl. These results suggest a gradual association of benflurone; the formation of a hetero-associate, (BH+)2Cl-, followed by higher associates was evaluated in the measured range up to 0.1 mol l-1.

As an essential electrolyte for the human body, the potassium ion (K+) plays many physiological roles in living cells, so the rapid and accurate determination of serum K+ is of great significance. In this work, we developed a solid-contact ion-selective electrode (SC-ISE) using MoS2/Fe3O4 composites as the ion-to-electron transducer to determine serum K+. The potential response measurement of MoS2/Fe3O4/K+-ISE shows a Nernst response by a slope of 55.2 ± 0.1 mV/decade and a low detection limit of 6.3 × 10−6 M. The proposed electrode exhibits outstanding resistance to the interference of O2, CO2, light, and water layer formation. Remarkably, it also presents a high performance in potential reproducibility and long-term stability.
