ReviewTheory and applications of ion-selective electrodes. Part 8☆

This review on ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) is arranged in the same way as earlier reviews of this series. The whole subject continues to grow. As in the preceding review, the most discussed field is that of analysis for body-fluid cations, particularly with automatic devices. Almost 800 papers published between Spring 1987 and Spring 1989 are mentioned, including some omitted in the preceding review. They cover the theory of membrane processes, technology (including ISFETs and electrolysis at liquid/liquid interfaces), fixed-site electrodes, potentiometric biosensors and miscellaneous systems.
