Calcium selective electrodes with various membrane formulations were studied in solutions containing CaCl 2 and sodium dodecylsulfate (NaDS). It is shown that electrodes based on neutral ionophores ETH 1001 and ETH 129 cannot be used as Ca 2 + ion sensors in these solutions because of strong anion interference from DS À anion. Among other formulations, that based on calcium bis(tetramethylbutylphenyl)phosphate in tri(2-ethylhexyl)phosphate appear the most promising. The interpretation of the ISE response in solutions under study relied on a novel approach which considers three forms of calcium: Ca 2 + free ions, Ca in Ca(DS) 2 precipitate, and Ca 2 + bound by the DS À micelles. Data needed for the respective calculations were obtained by DS À selective electrode based on tetradecylammonium, and Na + selective glass electrode.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
