A comparison of the selectivities of microelectrodes incorporating the Orion and Corning liquid ion exchangers for potassium over sodium.
The K+:Na+ selectivities of double-barrelled microelectrodes employing either of two commercially available liquid ion exchangers for K+ (Corning 477317 and Orion) have been measured using several calibration methods. Microelectrodes employing the Orion exchanger were found to be much less selective than those based on Corning 477317.
