Conversion of Signals from Ion-specific Electrodes to Linear Concentrations 1

Robert L Heath a,b
PMCID: PMC541787  PMID: 16659270

Abstract

This paper describes the assembly (from commercially available components) of an antilog converter, which transforms the output signals of ion-specific electrodes to ionic concentrations suitable for a linear recorder. It responds linearly to cation concentrations from 10 μm to at least 10 mm and can be used for electrodes kept at any temperatures (0 to 50 C). The leakage of K+ from a unicellular algae (Chlorella sorokiniana) can be induced by Triton X-100, heating, or suspension in a tris buffer and is used to demonstrate the operation of this device.
