TLDR
Serum Li/sup +/ assay was successfully achieved with an electrode containing a combination of the optimized membrane based on the crown ether and a dialysis membrane, which eliminated interference by proteins in the samples.
Abstract
Previous Li/sup +/-selective polymeric membrane electrodes based on 14-crown-4 derivative 1 have been improved in the Li/sup +/ selectivities against Na/sup +/ and K/sup +/ by using 2 and 3 as the neutral carrier. Examination of the membrane solvents for the electrodes allowed further enhancement in the Li/sup +/ selectivities. An excellent k/sub LiNa//sup Pot/ value of 1.3 x 10/sup -3/ was attained with the poly(vinyl chloride) membrane containing 2 as the neutral carrier and o-nitrophenyl phenyl ether/tris(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (98/2) as the solvent. Serum Li/sup +/ assay was successfully achieved with an electrode containing a combination of the optimized membrane based on the crown ether and a dialysis membrane, which eliminated interference by proteins in the samples.
