Potentiometric measurements in sequential injection analysis lab-on-valve (SIA-LOV) flow-system.
Advantages of using sequential injection analysis lab-on-valve (SIA-LOV) in potentiometric measurements are studied with Ca(2+) sensitive solid-contact ion-selective electrodes (SC-ISE) and pH electrode based on polyaniline (PANI). Experiments show that Ca(2+)-SC-ISE requires a stopped flow mode to be used in order to get longer equilibration time. On the other hand, PANI based pH electrode gives better results under flow conditions. SIA-LOV was found to be a flexible solution handling system for potentiometric measurements. The technique gives a possibility to fine-tune the calibration range or even recondition the electrode before every measurement without losing in linear range of calibration.
