Abstract
Potentiometric transducers are most commonly used in the development of biosensors and they typically involve a wide range of ion-selective electrodes, such as pH, pNH3, pNH4, pCO2, and so on. These devices generate the potential developed across an ion-selective membrane separating two solutions, proportional to the logarithm of the analyte concentration, according to the Nernst equation.
