“…However, the even smaller discrimination of interfering cations (log K H,J pot : K + , -4.4; Na + , -5.6; Li + , -6.9; microelectrode, KTpClPB, oNPOE) limits applications of these ISEs to pH < 4. 74 An electrode with the recently introduced ETH 2418 (H + -8), a derivative of propyl red, seems to be a very useful alternative as it allows measurements in the dynamic range from pH < 1 to 10 with a much smaller loss in selectivity (log K H,J pot : K + , -7.4; Na + , -8.0; Mesamoll H81 (phenylalkylsulfonic acid esters), chloroparaffin 60C, KTpClPB). 75 the sedative midazolam, which is extracted into the electrode membrane as a neutral species and then seems to act as a second neutral carrier, could be eliminated by using either a silicone rubber membrane or the plasticizer oNPOE.…”
