Overview

• This workshop introduces potentiometry as a practical electrochemical method for direct and indirect ion measurement.
• Participants explore the role of membrane selectivity, reference stability, sample activity, and measurement conditions.

Who should attend

• The session suits students, technicians, analysts, and laboratory personnel working with electrolyte and ion analysis.

Learning outcomes

• By the end of the workshop, attendees can explain electrode function, calibration steps, and signal interpretation basics.
• Attendees also learn to identify common method limitations, matrix effects, and troubleshooting indicators.
• Outcome discussions strengthen analytical confidence in routine ion-selective electrode based testing environments.

Agenda

• Modules cover electrochemical fundamentals, Nernst response, electrode construction, and ion-selective membrane behavior.
• Participants review calibration sequence, slope checks, control materials, and interpretation of measurement output.

Hands-on / Demonstrations

• Hands-on discussions demonstrate sample preparation logic, maintenance points, and error recognition in ion analysis systems.
• Exercises include identifying drift, contamination, protein effects, carryover concerns, and abnormal control behavior.
• Case-based practice links electrolyte values to clinical interpretation and method performance assessment.

Deliverables

• Participants receive structured notes on potentiometric principles, electrode behavior, calibration, and common error patterns.
• Reference sheets summarize ion-selective electrode workflow, performance checks, and troubleshooting logic.
• The workshop helps learners build stronger technical language for electrolyte reporting and analytical discussion.

FAQ
