Contruction of polymeric liquid membrane ion selective electrode (ISE) and its application for determination of nitrate in tomatoes

Abstract

A potentiometric all-solid-state type ion-selective electrode (ISE) for NO3- was constructed and characterized. It is based on a mixture of tetra-decyl-ammonium nitrate (TDAN) as ionophore, di-butyl phthalate (DBP) as plasticizer and poly (vinyl chloride)
