    Automated calibration of ion-selective microelectrodes using a microprocessor system simplifies measurements. This system enhances accuracy and efficiency for intracellular ion concentration analysis, particularly for calcium.

    Area of Science:

    • Electrochemistry
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Analytical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Ion-selective microelectrodes (ISMEs) require precise calibration for accurate intracellular ion measurements.
    • Manual calibration is time-consuming and prone to errors, impacting experimental reproducibility.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and describe a microprocessor-controlled system for automating ISME calibration.
    • To improve the efficiency and accuracy of intracellular ion concentration determination.

    Main Methods:

    • A microprocessor system was designed to automate the delivery and measurement of calibration solutions.
    • Software was developed for controlling solution delivery, printing calibration values, plotting calibration curves (modified Nicholsky equation), and converting signals to ion concentrations.
