AI Article Synopsis

  • A new flexible ion-selective sensor for potassium and sodium detection uses a pseudo-liquid internal solution, enhancing stability in analytical signals compared to traditional solid contact systems.
  • The sensor achieves good sensitivity, with Nernstian responses of approximately 56 mV/dec for both ions, and demonstrates quick response times of 5 seconds for potassium and 8 seconds for sodium.
  • Biocompatibility was confirmed through potassium measurements in biofilms, aligning with past data, indicating the sensor's effectiveness in practical applications.

Article Abstract

A novel flexible ion-selective sensor for potassium and sodium detection was proposed. Flexible ion-selective electrodes with pseudo-liquid internal solution on contrary to the system with a solid contact provided a more stable analytical signal. Such advantages were achieved because of polyelectrolyte (PEI/PSS) layers adsorption on the conduct substrate with a layer-by-layer technique. Such an approach demonstrated that ion-selective electrodes save sensitivity with Nernstian dependence: 56.2 ± 1.4 mV/dec and 56.3 ± 1.9 mV/dec , as well as a fast time of response for potassium (5 s) and sodium (8 s) was shown. The sensing platform proposed demonstrates a better time of response and is close to the Nernstian value of sensitivity with a sensor low cost. The results proposed confirm a pseudo-liquid junction for the ion-selective electrode. Biocompatibility of an ion-selective sensing platform was demonstrated at potassium potentiometric measurements in biofilms. Potassium levels in a biofilm were measured with potentiometry and showed agreement with the previous results.

Ammonium level in body fluids serves as one of the critical biomarkers for healthcare, especially those relative to liver diseases. The continuous and real-time monitoring in both invasive and non-invasive manners is highly desired, while the ammonium concentrations vary largely in different body fluids. Besides, the sensing reliability based on ion-selective biosensors can be significantly interfered by potassium ions.

The monitoring of ion homeostasis in vivo is of paramount importance due to its critical functions in biological systems. However, current leading technologies for creating ion-selective electrodes often fall short of the requirements for in vivo applications in terms of multiplexity, miniaturization, and flexibility. To address this gap, we introduce an integrated multiplexed ion monitoring probe created from thermally drawn multi-electrode polymer fiber, aimed at enhancing in vivo ion homeostasis studies.

Phosphoryl podands of neutral type with a flexible ethylene glycol chain and diphenylphosphorylmethyl end groups are known for their complexation properties towards various cations. In this work, the complexation process between 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphoryl)-2-oxapropane (L) and lanthanide ions was studied. Namely, the stability constants of lanthanide complexes with L in acetonitrile were estimated by the method of spectrophotometric titration.

Despite the fact that there are already a number of solid-contact-based ion-selective electrodes designed for atrazine detection, our ground-breaking contribution lies in introducing the first-ever atrazine potentioselectrode, enabling the ultra-sensitive detection of atrazine at nanomolar levels. Solid-contact ion-selective electrodes can offer advantages, such as improved stability, reproducibility, sensitivity, and selectivity compared to their liquid-contact counterparts. Here, a biomimetic potentiometric sensor for Atrazine was developed using economic, light weight, and flexible carbon cloth as solid-contact material.
