ion-selective electrode
An ion-selective electrode (ISE) is a specialized sensor designed to detect and measure specific ions in a solution, such as sodium, potassium, or calcium. It works by having a membrane that responds selectively to a particular ion, creating an electrical signal proportional to the ion's concentration. This allows for accurate, real-time analysis of the ion's level in various samples, useful in medical diagnostics, environmental testing, and laboratory research. The ISE's ability to distinguish one ion from others makes it a valuable tool for precise chemical measurement.
