“…Many kinds of ion-selective optodes for various analytes have been reported, such as Li + , 1 Na + , 2 K + , [3][4][5] NH 4 + , 6,7 Mg 2+ , 8 Ca 2+ , [8][9][10][11][12] Zn 2+ , 13 Ag + , 14,15 Hg 2+ , 14 UO 2 2+ , 16 Pb 2+ , 17 HSO 3 -, 18 Cl -, 19,20 , and heparin; 21 their theoretical methodologies have also been investigated. 1,3,11,22,23 In the field of dry reagent chemistry, simple chemical sensing probes such as protein and sugar test papers were developed. 24 A combination of ion-selective optode methodology based on an ion-extraction or ion-exchange mechanism and dry reagent chemistry was carried out recently in our research group.…”
