Abstract
A solid state ion-selective electrode device to detect a selected ion species in solution an electrode consisting of a homogeneous solid mixture. The mixture is a solid electrolyte composition possessing ionic conductivity and polyvinyl chloride, and optionally graphite. The electrode is substantially free of metallic silver. An electrical connection operates as a contact between the electrode device and a reference source. Methods for detecting the selected ion species in solutions, such as biological samples utilizing the above described electrodes, are also disclosed.
