A PVC membrane pH-sensitive electrode based on methyldioctadecylamine as neutral carrier.

A pH-sensitive PVC membrane electrode based on methyldioctadecylamine as neutral carrier has been prepared. It gives linear response over the pH-range 3.0-11.0 and a slope of - 58.4 +/- 0.3 mV/pH (at 20 degrees). The electrode has fairly low resistance and good potential reproducibility. The selectivity and other characteristics of the electrode have been studied.
