The paper presents the quantitative characterization of the solid/water interface applying both experimental and theoretical approaches for the system of TiO (mixture of anatase and rutile) and FeO (maghemite) with calcium ions in the pH function. The aim of the study was also to find a bonding mechanism between Ca and metal oxides surface based on the calculations from the surface complexation modeling code (GEOSURF by Sahai and Sverjensky, 1998). In order to obtain adsorption edges, a calcium ion-selective electrode (Ca-ISE) was applied for determination of Ca concentration in the suspensions. The results of both the Ca-ISE and parallel spectrophotometric determination were similar. The adsorption data showed that TiO exhibited stronger calcium binding than FeO at pH > 8. Using 2-pK TLM (triple-layer model) it was demonstrated that mechanism of the calcium adsorption onto the metal oxides surface involved different reactions. In the case of TiO it involved formation of >SO_CaOH predominately on the β-plane and at pH > 9 also on the 0-plane. In the case of FeO one could observe the existence of (>SO)_Ca on the β-plane in the whole studied pH range. At pH above 7 the tetranuclear complexes (>SOH)(>SO)_Ca(OH) were found, and at pH > 9 also >SO_CaOH could be observed. On the other hand, the analysis of the ζ-potential data suggested the absence of the tetra-species on the maghemite surface. The study indicated that the properly validated calcium ion-selective electrode can be an attractive instrument for monitoring Ca adsorption on metal oxides in the environment.

Ion-selective separation, especially Na/Ca separation, is of significant importance in the realms of biomimetic research and the fabrication of biomimetic devices, underscoring the pivotal role that sodium and calcium ions play in cellular metabolism. However, the analogous ionic radii and charge densities shared by sodium and calcium ions significantly impede their effective discrimination, presenting formidable challenges for the precise engineering of ion separation materials, such as separation membranes. In this study, a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) separation membrane hybridized with zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks (UiO-66, UiO-66-NO and UiO-66-NH) was constructed.

Calcium ions are crucial in numerous physiological processes, and their precise measurement is important for many clinical diagnostics and therapeutic interventions. Traditional detection methods, such as atomic absorption spectroscopy, cannot meet clinical requirements, as they measure total calcium instead of the clinically relevant ionized form (Ca). Ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) provide a convenient, accurate, and specific method for Ca determination.

Sprinkle formulations represent an interesting genre of medicinal products. A frequent problem, however, is the need to mask the unpleasant taste of these drug substances. In the present work, we propose the use of a novel sensor array based on solid-state ion-selective electrodes to evaluate the taste-masking efficiency of rosuvastatin (ROS) sprinkle formulations.

Real-time and continuous monitoring of physiological status via noninvasive sweat sensing shows promise for personalized healthcare and fitness management. However, the largely varied perspiration rates in different body statuses introduce challenges for effective sweat collection and accurate sensing. Herein, a fully printable strategy was developed to realize fully integrated patches for wireless sensing of sweat biomarker levels and perspiration rates with desirable stability and versatility.

Introduction: Discrepancies between electrolyte concentrations determined by blood gas analysers (BGA) and core-lab chemistry analysers may create confusion in clinical practice. This problem is rooted in the different ion-selective electrode (ISE) methodologies that are used. Whilst most available chemistry analysers use indirect ISE, we evaluated the analytical performance of the new automated chemistry analyser Biossays™ E6 (Snibe), equipped with direct ISE, for the determination of sodium (Na), potassium (K), chloride (Cl), ionized calcium (iCa) and pH.
