Description

Sodium Ionophore Viii is a highly selective, neutral carrier molecule designed for the potentiometric detection of sodium ions. This compound is critical for the fabrication of ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) and optical sensors, enabling precise sodium concentration measurements in complex matrices. It is an essential component for researchers and manufacturers in clinical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and pharmaceutical process control, where accurate electrolyte analysis is paramount.

Application

• Ion-Selective Electrodes (ISEs): Primary sensing component in membrane formulations for sodium detection in blood analyzers, clinical chemistry systems, and laboratory potentiometers.
• Optical Chemical Sensors: Used in the development of optodes and fiber-optic sensors for real-time, in-situ monitoring of sodium levels in biological and environmental samples.
• Process Analytical Technology (PAT): Enables online sodium monitoring in biotechnology fermentation, pharmaceutical synthesis, and food & beverage production.
• Environmental Analysis: Key reagent for measuring sodium ion activity in water quality testing, soil analysis, and industrial effluent monitoring.
• Research & Development: Fundamental tool in academic and industrial labs for studying ion transport mechanisms, membrane physiology, and developing new sensor technologies.
• Point-of-Care Testing (POCT): Integrated into disposable sensor strips and portable devices for rapid electrolyte testing at the bedside or in field settings.
