The phosphate sensor.

The field of phosphate sensors is reviewed. Sensors in the form of potentiometric ion-selective electrodes, amperometric and potentiometric enzyme electrodes, amperometric plant-tissue electrodes and other devices in the form of integrated probes used for determining orthophosphate concentrations in aqueous solutions, are described. Information provided includes conditions like pH and temperature at which the device is operated, as well as experimental results in the form of linear ranges, detection limits and interfering substances. The time period covered ranges from 1986 up to mid-1997. Earlier work is included in some cases.

Mathematical theory of complex ligand-binding systems applied to free triiodothyronine immunoassays.

A theoretical basis for direct immunoassays of free hormones in serum is presented. The multiple-ligand/multiple-site binding theory employed makes it possible to predict the distribution of hormones among exogenous and endogenous binding proteins in the assay mixture. The model allows simulation of assay systems involving any number of ligands and binding sites. The simulation of an assay of free triiodothyronine illustrates the way in which assay parameters such as antibody concentration, antibody affinity, serum dilution, and labeled hormone interactions with serum binding proteins affect the validity of free hormone assays. The simultaneous equations describing these complex binding systems at equilibrium were solved on a personal computer, with the use of commercial mathematics software. This general method for solving and modelling free hormone assay systems provides a tool for predicting the behavior of free-hormone assays.
