Properties of ion-selective electrodes with polymer membranes for ibuprofen determination Original Research Article

Composition of a polymeric potential-determining phase for the ibuprofen selective electrode was determined. The different possibilities of using various quaternary ammonium salts — dimethyldidecylammonium bromide, methyltrioctylammonium chloride, tetraoctylammonium chloride and methyltrioctyloammonium 2-(4-isobuthylphenyl) priopionate—as anion exchangers in polymer membranes of ibuprofen electrodes were examined. The following basic electrode parameters were investigated: measurement range, slope, limit of detection, lifetime, dependence of the electrode potential on pH and selectivity coefficients in relation to some organic and inorganic anions.
