The construction and characteristics of two potentiometric differential
microdetectors equipped with two similar ion-selective membranes are
described. The two membranes used were of Ag

. The active volume of the
measuring cell was about 3 µl. Calibration plots were linear, with
almost theoretical slopes, down to 10

depending on the sample. The errors in the determination of the
above-mentioned ions were below 3.9%.
