Description

Carbonate Ionophore I CAS NO 129476-47-7 is a highly selective neutral carrier used in the fabrication of ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) and optical sensors. Its primary function is to facilitate the accurate and sensitive potentiometric detection of carbonate ions in complex aqueous and biological matrices. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in analytical chemistry, environmental monitoring, and biomedical diagnostics who require precise ion activity measurements.

Application

• Key component in carbonate ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) for potentiometric analysis.
• Development of optical chemical sensors (optodes) for carbonate ion detection.
• Research and analysis of bicarbonate/carbonate levels in physiological fluids (e.g., blood, serum).
• Environmental monitoring of carbonate alkalinity in natural waters and seawater.
• Quality control in beverage and pharmaceutical production where carbonate concentration is critical.
• Use in sensor membranes for laboratory and process analytical equipment.
