Shishkanova %A Martin Krondak %A Radko Volf %J Sensors %D 2008 %I MDPI AG %X This report presents an optimization of potentiometric measurements withcitrate-selective electropolymerized poly(neutral red) electrodes. The optimal backgroundelectrolyte for these measurements is a TRIS buffer with nitrate at pH 8.5. The electrodesdescribed here exhibit stable and reproducible near-Nernstian response to citrates with alow detection limit of 6 ¡ª 10-6 M. Electrodes polymerized from sulfuric acid andacetonitrile are compared in detail. Simple and sensitive method for quantification ofcitrate in real-life samples by potentiometry with poly(neutral red) electrodes arepresented. Data from potentiometric measurements of citrate are compared with capillaryelectrophoresis. %K conductive polymer %K poly(neutral red) %K coated-wire electrode %K citrate %K real-life sample %U http://www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/8/2/594/
