Potassium ion specific electrode with high selectivity for potassium over sodium.

A new potassium electrode, made from valinomycin, which uses commercially available electrode configurations, responds to potassium ion concentrations from 1 mole per liter to below 10(-6) mole per liter. It is highly selective for potassium ion over sodium ion and divalent ions and can be used for the direct determination of potassium ion in human serumn. No significant complexing of potassiium appears to occur in normal seruin.

Electrode for sensing fluoride ion activity in solution.

Electrodes constructed from single-crystal sections of rare earth fluorides respond to fluoride ion activity over more than five orders of magnitude and show a high selectivity for fluoride over other common anions. These electrodes can be used for either direct measuremnent of fluoride ion activity or detection of the end point in titration.
