The design and properties of novel type of solid-contact ionophore-based ion-selective microelectrodes are reported. The microelectrode is based on an insulated needle-shaped metallic wire with an exposed apex. The ion-to-electron transducer is made of poly(3-octylthiophene-2,5-diyl) and placed between an ion-selective membrane and the metallic tip. The ion-selective polyvinyl chloride-based membrane is deposited atop the layer of conductive polymer. The length of the ion-sensitive part of the electrode is less than 10 mu m. pH and Mg2+-selective microelectrodes were constructed and tested showing stable potential and fast response that are essential properties for the practical application of microelectrodes for localized scanning measurements.
