    Abstract:
    We present an improved Na+-selective liquid membrane electrode for measurement of Na+ concentrations in both undiluted serum and urine. The values for urinary Na+ obtained with the ion-selective electrode agree well with those obtained with the flame photometer. The correlation gives a standard residual deviation of +/- 2.7 mmol/L over the Na+ range of 25-280 mmol/L. In serum, this direct potentiometry yields Na+ concentrations 5.4% (SD 1.1%) higher than those obtained by atomic spectrometry and a standard residual deviation of +/- 1.1 mmol/L. Correction of these values for the volumes of protein and lipid leads to potentiometric values 1.2% (SD 0.7%) lower than those by flame photometry (residual standard deviation: +/- 1.0 mmol/L). Other factors that possibly contribute to this discrepancy are discussed.
