Abstract
Modern potentiometric sensors based on polymeric membrane ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) have achieved new breakthroughs in sensitivity, selectivity, and stability and have extended applications in environmental surveillance, medical diagnostics, and industrial analysis. Moreover, nonclassical potentiometry shows promise for many applications and opens up new opportunities for potentiometric biosensing. Here, we aim to provide a concept to summarize advances over the past decade in the development of potentiometric biosensors with polymeric membrane ISEs. This Concept article articulates sensing mechanisms based on non-equilibrium measurement techniques. In particular, we emphasize new trends in potentiometric biosensing based on attractive dynamic approaches. Representative examples are selected to illustrate key applications under zero-current conditions and stimulus-controlled modes. More importantly, fruitful information obtained from non-equilibrium measurements with dynamic responses can be useful for artificial intelligence (AI). The combination of ISEs with advanced AI techniques for effective data processing is also discussed. We hope that this Concept will illustrate the great possibilities offered by non-equilibrium measurement techniques and AI in potentiometric biosensing and encourage further innovations in this exciting field.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-based polymeric membrane potentiometric sensors are ideal candidates for detection of organic species. The development of such sensors has opened new attractive horizons for potentiometric sensing. However, it should be noted that in the preparation of these MIP receptors, the selection of the functional monomer usually depends on empirical trial- and error-based optimization, which involves tedious and time-consuming experiments. In this work, the computer-aided design and synthesis of an MIP receptor are applied in the fabrication of an MIP-based potentiometric sensor. The density functional theory calculation with the B3LYP model and 6-31G(d) basis set is used to study the interactions between the functional monomer and template molecules. The binding energies of the complexations between the template molecule and different functional monomers are used as a criterion for the selection of the proper monomer. The designed MIP is then synthesized and employed as the receptor for the fabrication of the potentiometric sensor. As a proof-of-concept experiment, the antibiotic sulfadiazine has been selected as a model and 4 functional monomers, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, methyl methacrylate, N-isopropylacrylamide and N-phenylacrylamide, have been chosen. The designed MIP-based sensor exhibits excellent sensitivity with a linear range of 1-10 μM and also shows a good selectivity. We believe that the proposed computer-aided synthesis technique for the MIP receptor selection can provide a general and facile way to replace the traditional empirical MIP preparation method in the fabrication of MIP-based electrochemical and optical sensors.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-based polymeric membrane potentiometric sensors have become an attractive tool for detection of organic species. However, the MIP receptors in potentiometric sensors developed so far are usually prepared by only using single functional monomers. This may lead to low affinities of the MIP receptors due to the lack of diversity of the functional groups, thus resulting in low detection sensitivity of the potentiometric sensors. Additionally, these classical MIP receptors are nonconductive polymers, which are undesirable for the fabrication of an electrochemical sensor. Herein, we describe a novel multifunctional MIP receptor-based potentiometric sensor. The multifunctional MIP receptor is prepared by using two functional monomers, methacrylic acid, and 3-vinylaniline with a dual functionality of both recognition and conduction properties. The poly(aniline) groups are introduced into the methacrylic acid-based MIP by postoxidation of the aniline monomer. Such poly(aniline) groups not only serve as the additional functional groups for selective recognition, but also work as a conducting polymer. The obtained multifunctional MIP receptor shows a high binding capacity and an excellent electron-transfer ability. By using bisphenol A as a model, the proposed multifunctional MIP sensor exhibits a largely improved sensitivity and low noise levels compared to the conventional MIP sensor. We believe that the proposed MIP-based sensing strategy provides a general and facile way to fabricate sensitive and selective MIP-based electrochemical sensors.

Abstract
The modulation of the ion-fluxes across a polymeric membrane is important for designing attractive methodologies. As an alternative to the commonly used dynamic electrochemistry approaches, light can be used as an external stimulus and provides a very convenient way to manipulate ions release and/or extraction into a polymeric membrane. Herein, we designed a solid-contact polymeric membrane ion-selective sensor that exhibits dynamic response by light irradiation at 375 nm. The electrode membrane contains a light-sensitive lipophilic salt (bis(4-tert-butylphenyl)iodonium tetrakis[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borate (R+-R-, BTDT-TFPB) instead of traditional ion exchanger. Under light illumination, the decomposition of the lipophilic cation makes the membrane with ion-exchange properties. The solid-contact ion-selective electrodes based on potentiometry and constant potential coulometry have been explored for direct ion sensing. Copper was selected as a mode analyte and can be determined at micromole levels. The proposed dynamic ion sensors show promise for on-demand ion sensing.

Abstract
In this work, we describe a novel method to improve the detection limits of the non-classical polymeric membrane ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) which are conditioned with highly discriminated ions instead of primary ions. It is based on a thin-layer ISE membrane with a thickness of 5 μm, which is coated on ordered mesoporous carbon used as solid contact. The diffusion of the primary ion from the surface of the sensing membrane to the bulk of the membrane could be avoided by the proposed thin membrane configuration. Since the detection sensitivity of the non-classical ISEs depends on the accumulation of the primary ion in the interfacial layer of the sensing membrane, a lower detection limit can be obtained. By using the copper ion as a model, the present potentiometric sensor shows a significantly improved detection sensitivity compared to the conventional ISE with a membrane thickness of ca. 200 μm. Low detection limits of 0.29 and 0.53 nM can be obtained in 0.01 and 0.5 M NaCl, respectively. In addition, the proposed sensor exhibits an excellent reversibility by using a neutral proton-selective ionophore incorporated in the thin membrane.

Abstract
Ion-selective electrode (ISE) based potentiometric gas sensors have shown to be promising analytical tools for detection of chemical vapors. However, such sensors are only capable of detecting those vapors which can be converted into ionic species in solution. This paper describes for the first time a polymer membrane ISE based potentiometric sensing system for sensitive and selective determination of neutral vapors in the gas phase. A molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) is incorporated into the ISE membrane and used as the receptor for selective adsorption of the analyte vapor from the gas phase into the sensing membrane phase. An indicator ion with a structure similar to that of the vapor molecule is employed to indicate the change in the MIP binding sites in the membrane induced by the molecular recognition of the vapor. The toluene vapor is used as a model and benzoic acid is chosen as its indicator. Coupled to an apparatus manifold for preparation of vapor samples, the proposed ISE can be utilized to determine volatile toluene in the gas phase and allows potentiometric detection down to parts per million levels. This work demonstrates the possibility of developing a general sensing principle for detection of neutral vapors using ISEs.

Abstract
In this work, a simple, general, and sensitive potentiometric platform is presented, which allows potentiometric sensing to be applied to any class of molecule irrespective of the analyte charge. DNA nanostructures are self-assembled on magnetic beads via the incorporation of an aptamer into a hybridization chain reaction. The aptamer-target binding event leads to the disassembly of the DNA nanostructures, which results in a dramatic change in the surface charge of the magnetic beads. Such a surface charge change can be sensitively detected by a polycation-sensitive membrane electrode using protamine as an indicator. With an endocrine disruptor bisphenol A as a model, the proposed potentiometric method shows a wide linear range from 0.1 to 100 nM with a low detection limit of 80 pM (3σ). The proposed sensing strategy will lay a foundation for the development of potentiometric sensors for highly sensitive and selective detection of various targets.

Abstract
Exposure to pathogens in recreational or drinking water is a serious public health concern. It is important to rapidly determine and identify trace levels of pathogens in real environmental samples. We report here on a label-free potentiometric aptasensor for rapid, sensitive, and selective detection of Listeria monocytogenes (LM), a pathogen widely distributed in the environment. An aptamer binds specifically to internalin A, a surface protein present in LM cells. The target-binding event prevents the aptamer from electrostatically interacting with protamine, which can be sensitively detected using a polycation-sensitive membrane electrode. Using this method, LM can be detected down to 10 CFU mL(-1). Coupled to an online filtration system, the bioassay has been evaluated with spiked coastal seawater samples and shows good recovery and high accuracy. This work demonstrates the possibility of developing potentiometric aptasensors for determination and identification of various bacteria in environmental samples.

Abstract
Pulsed galvanostatic control of ion fluxes across polymeric membrane ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) is an emerging field for potentiometric sensing. Herein we report a novel potentiometric enzyme immunoassay based on current-controlled release of an enzyme substrate, which eliminates the addition of marker ions in the sample solution. In this method, the carboxylated poly(vinyl chloride) matrix at the outer layer of the ISE membrane is employed to attach a primary antibody. A sandwich immunoassay with an alkaline phosphatase labeled antibody (ALP-Ab) as the reporter is used for the determination of human IgG (as a model protein). The large difference between the lipophilicity of the substrate ion and that of the product ion allows p-nitrophenyl phosphate to be used as the enzyme substrate for potentiometric immunosensors. After the immunoreactions, the captured ALP-Ab catalyzes the hydrolysis of the substrate ions released at the sample-membrane interface by using the pulsed galvanostatic technique. This process can be potentiometrically determined by measuring the open circuit potential of the ISE. Under optimal conditions, the potential response of the proposed immunosensor is proportional to the concentration of human IgG in the range of 50-1000 ng/mL with a detection limit of 30 ng/mL (3σ). Owing to simplicity and independence of sample volume and sample turbidity, the proposed potentiometric immunoassay offers a viable alternative to those based on optical absorbance.

Abstract
The determination of peroxidase activities is the basis for enzyme-labeled bioaffinity assays, peroxidase-mimicking DNAzymes- and nanoparticles-based assays, and characterization of the catalytic functions of peroxidase mimetics. Here, a facile, sensitive, and cost-effective solvent polymeric membrane-based peroxidase detection platform is described that utilizes reaction intermediates with different pKa values from those of substrates and final products. Several key but long-debated intermediates in the peroxidative oxidation of o-phenylenediamine (o-PD) have been identified and their charge states have been estimated. By using a solvent polymeric membrane functionalized by an appropriate substituted tetraphenylborate as a receptor, those cationic intermediates could be transferred into the membrane from the aqueous phase to induce a large cationic potential response. Thus, the potentiometric indication of the o-PD oxidation catalyzed by peroxidase or its mimetics can be fulfilled. Horseradish peroxidase has been detected with a detection limit at least two orders of magnitude lower than those obtained by spectrophotometric techniques and traditional membrane-based methods. As an example of peroxidase mimetics, G-quadruplex DNAzymes were probed by the intermediate-sensitive membrane and a label-free thrombin detection protocol was developed based on the catalytic activity of the thrombin-binding G-quadruplex aptamer.

A potentiometric flow biosensor based on ammonia-oxidizing bacteria for the detection of toxicity in water. SENSORS 2013; 13:6936-45. [PMID: 23708274 PMCID: PMC3715250 DOI: 10.3390/s130606936] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2013] [Revised: 05/17/2013] [Accepted: 05/20/2013] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
A flow biosensor for the detection of toxicity in water using the ammonia-oxidizing bacterium (AOB) Nitrosomonas europaea as a bioreceptor and a polymeric membrane ammonium-selective electrode as a transducer is described. The system is based on the inhibition effects of toxicants on the activity of AOB, which can be evaluated by measuring the ammonium consumption rates with the ammonium-selective membrane electrode. The AOB cells are immobilized on polyethersulfone membranes packed in a holder, while the membrane electrode is placed downstream in the flow cell. Two specific inhibitors of the ammonia oxidation—allylthiourea and thioacetamide—have been tested. The IC50 values defined as the concentration of an inhibitor causing a 50% reduction in the ammonia oxidation activity have been measured as 0.17 μM and 0.46 μM for allylthiourea and thioacetamide, respectively. The proposed sensor offers advantages of simplicity, speed and high sensitivity for measuring toxicity in water.
