An ion-selective electrode in conjunction with a
reference electrode. Generally, the cell contains two reference electrodes, internal and external, and
the
thin film or
membrane recognition-transduction element. However, besides this conventional type of cell
(with solution contact on both sides of the
membrane) there are cell arrangements with wire contact to one side of the
membrane (all solid state and coated wire types).
