Abstract:
An ion-selective multielectrode bisensor system is designed to ensure reliable real-time concentration measurements of sodium, potassium, chloride, and pH in a small volume of biological liquid bathing a living human bronchial epithelial cell monolayer. The bisensor system allows the monitoring of major ions, which are simultaneously transported through the epithelia in both directions.
