February 1997 Featured on the Cover
This month's cover depicts the history of ion selective electrodes up to the 1980's, as reported at the seventh James L. Waters Symposium, held at Pittcon in March 1996. Included are a variety of electrode designs, the cover page of Arnold Beckman's patent for a vacuum-type pH meter, and a time line showing developments and the people who made them. In our special section on the Waters Symposium, Frant, in Where Did Ion Selective Electrodes Come From?, describes development and comercialization of ion selective electrodes. Ruzicna, in The Seventies - Golden Age for Ion Selective Electrodes, reports on the interactions among industrial and academic chemists during that time. Light discussesIndustrial Use and Applications of Ion Selective Electrodes, and Young's Evolution of Blood Chemistry Analyzers Based on Ion Selective Electrodes shows how ion selective electrode developments led to improvements in blood chemistry analyzers.



The cover was designed by Betsy True.
