Polymer membrane-based ion-, gas- and bio-selective potentiometric sensors.
Recent progress in the design of new polymer membrane-based potentiometric ion-, gas- and bio-selective electrodes in chemistry laboratories at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) is reviewed. Emphasis is placed on describing the performance of devices for measuring anions (e.g., salicylate, thiocyanate, chloride and heparin) and gases (e.g., ammonia, carbon dioxide and oxygen) in biological samples, both in vitro and in vivo. Beyond direct measurement of key ions and gases in complex matrices, some of the new membrane electrode systems reported can serve as base transducers for the development of biosensors containing integrated biological reagents, including enzymes and antibodies. New approaches for mass fabricating solid-state ion and biosensor devices as well as future directions for research in the entire field of polymer membrane sensors are also described.
