β¦ Synopsis
The performance of potentiometric detection based on calix[4]arene compounds was investigated for use in flow injection analysis. Two neutral carriers, namely methyl p-tert-butylcalix[4]aryl acetate and the methyl tetraketone derivative of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene, showed excellent stability and rapid response to sodium in a series of carrier streams. The application of these membrane electrodes to the determination of sodium in clinical samples was assessed and compared with flame photometry and a hospital-based autoanalyser.
The results obtained suggest that the flow-injection approach offers a significant improvement in precision and accuracy in comparison with a dip method reported earlier.
