Abstract

An analytical system based on a sensor array with ion-selective field effect transistors (ISFETs) monolithically integrated in one chip covered with photocured polymer membranes containing copolymerized plasticizer and a sequential injection analysis (SIA) is shown to offer an automation of the analysis of blood serum components. For sequential injection system a custom made dual channel flow cell for the sensor array was developed. Optimisation of ion-sensitive membrane characteristics and calibration solution compositions were carried out. The system was used to analyze sodium, potassium, chloride ion contents in blood serum samples. The precision of the ion determination in samples was typical for potentiometric method with standard deviation of about 3-5%.
