In Nebraska, state regulations require that the chemical makeup of animal feed sold in the state be accurately reflected on the labels found on the feed bags. The Nebraska State Agriculture Laboratory is charged with the task of performing the analytical laboratory work required. An example is salt (sodium chloride) content. The method used to analyze the feed for sodium chloride involves a potentio-metric titration. A chloride ion-selective electrode in combination with a saturated calomel reference electrode is used. After dissolving the feed sample, the chloride is titrated with a silver nitrate standard solution. The reaction involves the formation of the insoluble precipitate silver chloride. The electrode monitors the decrease in the chloride concentration as the titration proceeds, ultimately detecting the end point (when the chloride ion concentration is zero). 

The SHE also utilizes the catalytic properties of platinum, so the electrode monitoring the energy of the H" " H2 couple is made of platinum coated with platinum black. Platinum black is a layer of finely divided Pt metal, which catalytically speeds up the dissociation and association of H-H molecules. The catalysis here aids the speed at which equilibration is attained so that the measurement is more likely to be performed reversibly. 

In this method, the reaction under study competes with another fast process, which may be spin relaxation (nmr and epr), fluorescence or diffusion towards an electrode. Monitoring of the competition is generally internal, making use of the characteristics of the fast process itself. This approach will be treated in some of the next sections. 

FIGURE 19-18 Coupling of electron transfer and ATP synthesis in mitochondria. In experiments to demonstrate coupling, mitochondria are suspended in a buffered medium and an 02 electrode monitors 02 consumption. At intervals, samples are removed and assayed for the presence of ATP. (a) Addition of ADP and P, alone results in little or no increase in either respiration (02 consumption black) or ATP synthesis (red). When succinate is added, respiration begins immediately and...

The interaction of hydrogen peroxide with the carbon surface groups appears to be the major contributor to the potentiometric response. Several amino acid electrodes monitoring the NH4 ion have also been reported (68, 274-277). 

Two parts of the 1770 system are temperature sensitive. The chemistry itself, largely due to the volatility of iodine, has a substantial temperature coefficient, and the electrode response ean vary slightly when sample temperature differs from the temperature at which the electrode was calibrated. Since it is the sum of these components that is of practical interest, we examined the system temperature, after calibration at 25 °C, in an environmental chamber. Temperature was measured directly in the electrode flow cell, and potential of the electrode monitored using a digital millivolt meter. The results appear in Figure 5. Based on this information.

Maki and her colleagues found that the greater the number of hot flashes objectively recorded by electrode monitors, the poorer a woman s recollection of paragraphs and stories (verbal memory function). What that means to us, especially for women with breast cancer, is that there may be something physiological about what hot flashes represent that is further compounding the effects of chemotherapy on her brain functioning, says Maki. 

Fortunately, the intrinsic safety associated with a host of medical devices has continued to evolve and improve. Somewhat ironically, however, not until the safety weaknesses (i.e., latent conditions) have been exposed through patient injury, death, or costly lawsuits. The development of the return electrode monitor within electrosurgical units is a prime example. By continually interrogating the impedance within the return electrode-patient circuit, this feature disables the electrosurgical unit should the impedance become too high. Burns due to compromised or failed return electrodes are now largely prevented.

EIS changed the ways electrochemists interpret the electrode-solution interface. With impedance analysis, a complete description of an electrochemical system can be achieved using equivalent circuits as the data contains aU necessary electrochemical information. The technique offers the most powerful analysis on the status of electrodes, monitors, and probes in many different processes that occur during electrochemical experiments, such as adsorption, charge and mass transport, and homogeneous reactions. EIS offers huge experimental efficiency, and the results that can be interpreted in terms of Linear Systems Theory, modeled as equivalent circuits, and checked for discrepancies by the Kramers-Kronig transformations [1]. 

The glass electrode monitors the solution s [H+] relative to its own fixed internal [H+], and the instrument converts the potential difference between the glass and reference electrodes into a measure of pH. In modem instmments, a combination electrode houses both electrodes in one tube (Figure 21.13B) and can be nuniaturized for fieldwork. 

The Bioanalytical Systems Inc. (from Anachem, Luton, Great Britain) flow cell TL-4 was used to evaluate carbon paste working electrodes. The TL-4 is a two compartment cell with the working electrode monitoring the eluent stream from the column as it flows through a thin-layer gap inside the cell. Counter and reference electrodes are held in a second compartment connected to the working electrode via a wide bore tube.
