A LED conductivity tester has been used to determine the total electrolyte concentration in a hamburger model of animal tissue. The assay can be done on a microscale and measures the total electrolyte concentration as 0.07-0.6 N. The physiological total electrolyte concentration is 0.15 N, and the assay is accurate to within the precision of the conductivity tester.
Our Secondary School editors work hard to distill all the JCE materials to produce a fraction of particular interest to high school teachers. We call it CLIC.
In recent years we have worked hard to better match our advertisers with our readers. When shopping for chemistry education materials, visit our advertisers' WWW sites first.
