Article Abstract
In situ potentiometry and null ellipsometry was combined and used as a tool to follow the kinetics of biofouling of ion-selective electrodes (ISEs). The study was performed using custom-made solid-contact K(+)-ISEs consisting of a gold surface with immobilized 6-(ferrocenyl)hexanethiol as ion-to-electron transducer that was coated with a potassium-selective plasticized polymer membrane. The electrode potential and the ellipsometric signal (corresponding to the amount of adsorbed protein) were recorded simultaneously during adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA) at the surface of the K(+)-ISEs. This in situ method may become useful in developing sensors with minimized biofouling.

Background: Total alkalinity (A) is a fundamental parameter in understanding the oceanic cycling of carbon dioxide (CO). Measurements of the A of natural waters are typically obtained through single- or multi-step titrations using a strong acid, with the endpoint pH determined via potentiometry or spectrophotometry. Conventional A determinations are labor-intensive and require precise knowledge of the sample's weight or volume.

In this study, we present a color scale-based approach for the rapid and sensitive visual detection of lead(II) in human urine using a polymer-based optical sensor. The optimized optode membrane demonstrates a detection limit of 6 ± 4 μg × L, making it suitable for both point-of-care diagnostics and environmental applications. Response characteristics, including median signal, dynamic range, and response time, were evaluated, and the influence of membrane composition, both qualitative and quantitative, on optical performance was systematically investigated.

Smart agriculture and environmental monitoring claim innovative wearable sensing technologies suitable for real-time, in-situ biochemical analysis for non-specialized users in plants. Current strategies measure physical parameters, ions or hormones by amperometry or potentiometry. Among these, plant hormones serve as stress biomarkers due to their role in stress response mechanisms.

Understanding the mechanics of crystallization from solution is crucial for advancing material discovery and design. Studying these complex processes requires a combination of experimental techniques. Here, the crystallization of lanthanum(III)- and neodymium(III) hydroxides was studied with in situ and ex situ X-ray techniques in combination with pair distribution function analysis, scanning electron microscopy, light scattering, pH titrations, simulations, and optical spectroscopy.

The development of ion-selective sensors as green and energy-efficient substitutes is a promising trend in today's analytical techniques. So, three distinct polyvinyl chloride sensors modulated by ionophores of cyclodextrins (α-, β-, and γ-cyclodextrins) were built, and their composition was optimized for rapid in-situ estimation of prucalopride succinate in different matrices. The experimental work was backed up by applying molecular docking, whose results were consistent with the practical findings, offering a creative strategy to reduce the experiment's costs and duration.
