Abstract

The pH-ISE(ion selective electrode) based on tribenzylamine as a hydrogen ion carrier was prepared and its electrochemical characterization was studied. It responded linearly to hydrogen ions in the range of pH 3.1 - pH 11.0 and the Nernstian slope showed 55.0 mV/pH (at $20{\pm}0.2^{\circ}C$), it also showed a fast response time of 8 sec. When it was directly applied to human blood(pH 6.0-8.5), we could get the same satisfying results. A good reproducibility and stability were shown with the precision of 2 mV (${\pm}0.1$). The pH-ISE based on tribenzylamine exhibited biocompatibility in clinical applications.
