What does ISE stand for? Difference between Specific & Selective?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

ISE stands for Ion Selective Electrode, a device that measures the activity of specific ions in a solution by converting it into an electrical potential. The voltage output is theoretically governed by the Nernst equation, which relates it to the logarithm of ionic activity. The electrode consists of an ion-specific membrane paired with a reference electrode, making it essential for real-time measurements in biochemical and biophysical research involving ionic concentrations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Nernst equation
  • Familiarity with ion-selective membranes

Ion Selective Electrode?
 
ISE converts the activity of a specific ion dissolved in a solution into an electrical potential which can be measured. The voltage is theoretically dependent on the logarithm of the ionic activity, according to the Nernst equation. The sensing part of the electrode is usually made as an ion-specific membrane, along with a reference electrode. Ion-selective electrodes are used in biochemical and biophysical research, where measurements of ionic concentration in an aqueous solution are required, usually on a real time basis.
