โฆ Synopsis
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 was formed by potential cycling in dilute sulfuric acid. A pH profile across a denitrifying biofilm was measured as an example of an application. The higher Nernstian slope (70-80 mV/pH for fresh electrodes), increased rigidity, and restriction of the sensing tip to the outermost end of the electrode are features which make the iridiumhridium oxide pH microelectrode superior to a glass microelectrode.

A relatively simple potentiometric pCO2 gas-sensing microelectrode is described. It is based on an ion-exchanger pH electrode, has a 2- to 5-microns tip, and has an air gap which is formed by means of hydrophobic treatments. The microelectrode exhibits a linear response in the range 10(-4)-10(-2) M
