The manufacture, calibration, and signal conditioning during construction of an iridiumhidium oxide pH microsensor is described. The microsensor was designed to be used extracellularly, primarily in biofilm research. The sensing tip diameters were typically in the range of 3-15 pm. The iridium oxide

โฆ Synopsis
By miniaturizing the original MacInnes and Dole glass-membrane pH electrode a new pH microelectrode has been developed. The technique developed utilizes the tip of a high electrical resistance glass pipet that can be sealed with a thin membrane of H+-sensitive glass. Single-barreled electrodes have been made with tip diameters ranging from I.5 to 100 pm and double-barreled electrodes with tip diameters from 2 to 28 pm. The glass-membrane pH microelectrode provided a means for sensing the pH of biological solutions with an electrode having theoretical slope and tip configurational control. The most unique characteristics of the electrode were: the pH sensing surface was quite small. the tip diameter could be controlled, and the problem of electrode insulation was eliminated.
