Ion Selective Electrodes

Measurement by ISE can be performed in virtually every laboratory. ISEs measure ion concentrations in samples such as water, food, pharmaceuticals and biological samples. There have been many analytical methods that have been developed and published world-wide for the use of ISEs. The variety of methods available is the main advantage of using ISE technology.

Efficient and Economical
Electrode measurements are simpler and faster than other analytical techniques. Time consuming sample steps such as filtration and distillations are rarely needed. Analysis time is typically under 1 minute. Typically the cost per test is only a few cents. Compared to other methods such as atomic absorption or ion chromatography, there is a small setup cost and it does not require additional expensive readout equipment. Sample color or turbidity do not affect the measurement.
