Abstract
Ion Selective Electrodes (ISEs) are used to measure some of the most critical analytes
on clinical laboratory and point-of-care analysers. These analytes which include Na(+),
K(+), Cl(-), Ca(2+), Mg(2+) and Li(+) are used for rapid patient care decisions. Although
the electrodes are very selective, they are not free of interferences. It is important
for laboratories to have an understanding of the type and extent of interferences
in order to avoid incorrect clinical decisions and treatment.
