title: Continuous and discontinuous ionography of the pancreatic juice and the parotid saliva using carrier-membrane disc-electrodes.
abstract: The methodology for continuous ionography (monitoring of electrolytic composition) of the pancreatic secretion using a multianalyser is described. The system employs special electrodes which make use of sensing elements constructed of carrier-membrane discs. The procedure has been applied successfully in investigations on animals and is presently being tested in the clinical diagnostic laboratory. The apparatus can also be used for discontinuous measurements, in which case it has the advantage of needing only extremely small quantities of fluid which can be analyzed successively for the different ions, as the electrodes are connected in series.
