Specimen Requirements:
Container/Tube: Plastic urine container with no preservative
Sample Volume: 1 mL
Storage: Refrigerate specimens.
Methodology:
The ISE module for Na+, K+, and Cl- employs crown ether membrane electrodes for sodium and potassium and a molecular oriented PVC membrane for chloride that are specific for each ion of interest in the sample. An electrical potential is developed according to the Nernst Equation for a specific ion. When compared to the Internal Reference Solution, this electrical potential is translated into voltage and then into the ion concentration of the sample
