17. Measurement Basics: Nernst Equation
•
ISEs measure ion activity (i.e. “effective concentration”)
-Ion activity < actual ion concentration due to interaction of ions in solution, reduces ions available to react
•
ISEs are designed to measure specific ions, but other ions can interfere
-Adding ionic strength adjustor acts to minimize/mask effect of interfering ions
•
pH electrode is a Hydrogen ISE
•
ISE output is in mV; follows Nernst Equation
•
Slope of electrode: 2.303∗ 푅푅푅푅 푛푛푛푛
-Divalent (e.g. Ca2+) ~ 29 mV/decade (typical 26-29)
-Must have decade (i.e. order of magnitude) difference in calibration standards; can “fill-in” between standards if many used

18. ISE Electrode Types
Half cell ISEs:
•
Contain only the ion sensor (half cell); separate reference must be used
-Both have ion exchange with the sample
-mV output determined by difference in potential b/w the sensing half cell and the reference
Combination ISEs:
•
Contain the sensing electrode and reference electrode in the same body
•
Much easier to use; preferred by most customers
•
YSI TruLine electrodes
19. Measurement Methods
Direct measurement:
•
Simple and most commonly used ISE method
•
Measure mV output in samples and determine concentration based on calibration (i.e. just as is done with pH)
Incremental methods:
•
Standard addition, standard subtraction, sample addition, sample subtraction
•
Methods of spiking the sample
•
Sample ion concentration calculated from change in potential
•
YSI TruLab 1320 and MultiLab 4010-2/3 have all incremental methods preprogrammed

37. TruLine ISE Tips
•
Takes ~1-2 mL to fill electrode
•
One order of magnitude (i.e. decade) difference between two standards; can include standards between
•
Add ISA to both samples and standards to ensure similar ionic strength
•
Short term (1-3 day) storage: place in low standard and fill the reference
•
Long term: store dry (i.e. drain reference) and avoid sunlight
•
Fill hole should be open during calibration and measurement, closed during storage
