Abstract
Electrodes selective to potassium and calcium with improved senstivity were constructed like conventional electrode (ISEs), but used an operational amplifier to sum the potentials supplied by the four membranes (ESOAs). The results obtained during the evaluation of their working characteristics were compared to those obtained by conventional ISEs and were found to be similar, but with higher precision. The electrodes were used in the potentiometric determination of potassium, calcium and magnesium in wines. The results given by ESOAs were more precise than those from ISEs. The results obtained by potentiometry were in good agreement with those from AES for potassium and AAS for calcium and magnesium.
