Ion selective electrodes and some electrochemical sensors, owing to their unique ability to directly sense analytes, are well suited for whole blood, plasma, and serum critical analyte testing. These critical analytes are major electrolytes, blood gases, and some metabolites. Analyzers based on ion selective electrodes (ISE) can provide fast turnaround time (TAT) for critical care testing.
Following their historical development, these instruments can be conveniently divided into the following products: arterial blood gas (ABG) analyzers; electrolyte analyzers; integrated blood gas/electrolyte analyzers; and integrated blood gas/electrolyte/metabolite analyzers. This presentation will trace the development of these analyzers. The single-use disposable cartridge will not be included.
The "Chemistry Teacher Connection" (CTC) is especially for high school chemistry teachers. For only $40/year, it offers an online-only subscription to CLIC along with membership in the Division of Chemical Education, normally $65/year. CTC subscribers receive access to all articles and supplements from 1996 through the current issue.
Through special arrangement with the ACS, JCE High School CLIC is now able to provide subscribers with online access to Chemical & Engineering News articles that have been selected specifically for secondary science instructors and their students.
Occasionally, collections of JCE back issues become available for donation to individual teachers, schools, or libraries. JCE matches collections with interested recipients. Recipients pay shipping costs or pick up the collection.
