Abstract
Abstract An ion selective electrode comprising a support having provided thereon, in sequence, a conductive layer and an ion selective layer, which is characterized by having at least one groove through the conductive layer and covering the surface of the groove with the ion selective layer is disclosed. Half cells or electrodes useful for the measurement of ionic activity of chlorine, sodium, potassium or, carbonate or hydrogen carbonate ions in blood or other aqueous sample liquids can be prepared in an extremely simple manner. The single ion selective electrode element comprising paired ion selective electrodes in accordance with the present invention are electrochemically equivalent. A process for forming the same is also disclosed.
