New methods applicable for calibration of indicator electrodes

Abstract

The new methods applicable for calibration of indicator electrodes, based on standard addition and standard subtraction methods, are suggested. Some of the methods enable the slope of an indicator electrode and equivalence volume V(eq) to be determined simultaneously from a single set of potentiometric titration data. Some other methods known hitherto were also taken into account. A new model, based on a standard addition method, applicable also in nonlinear range for the ISE slope (S) is suggested, and its applicability was confirmed experimentally in calibration of calcium ISE.
