Measurement of serum electrolytes by Ion Selective Electrode (CAT#: STEM-ACT-0098-WXH)

Introduction

Electrolytes play an important role in controlling acid base balance, blood clotting, and body fluid and muscle contractions. Serum electrolytes concentrations are most commonly used tests for assessment of a patient's clinical conditions, and are associated with morbidity and mortality.

Principle

An ideal ion-selective electrode (I.S.E.) consists of a thin membrane across which only the intended ion can be transported. The transport of ions from a high conc. to a low one through a selective binding with some sites within the membrane creates a potential difference.

Applications

• Used for the potentiometric determination of several anions (fluoride, chloride, bromide, iodide ion) and cations (sodium, potassium, calcium ion).
• Used for endpoint detection in potentiometric titration.
• In biochemistry, ion selective electrodes are used for the determination of enzymes and substances which interact with enzymes.
