Area of Science:

  • Electrochemistry
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Accurate measurement of calcium ion (Ca2+) activity in human blood is critical for clinical diagnostics.
  • Existing reference electrodes often require internal solutions, increasing complexity and cost for single-use applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel miniaturized coated silver-stripe reference electrode for single-use applications.
  • To detail the preparation method for a Ag/AgCl/Cl- reference electrode of the second kind.
  • To evaluate its utility as a half-cell in a sensor system for measuring Ca2+ ion activity in human blood.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a miniaturized coated silver-stripe electrode.
  • Fabrication of a Ag/AgCl/Cl- reference electrode without internal solution.
  • Integration of the electrode as a half-cell in a Ca2+ ion sensor system.

Main Results:

  • Successful preparation of a miniaturized, solution-free Ag/AgCl/Cl- reference electrode.
  • Demonstration of the electrode's function as a stable half-cell for Ca2+ ion activity measurement.
  • Identification of challenges encountered during the preparation and implementation process.

Conclusions:

  • The developed miniaturized coated silver-stripe reference electrode offers a cost-effective and time-saving solution for biomedical measurements.
  • This single-use electrode is suitable for integration into sensor systems for determining Ca2+ ion activity in human blood.
  • The described preparation technique addresses limitations of traditional reference electrodes in point-of-care diagnostics.
