Membrane sites

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-007165",
  "term": "Membrane sites",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Specific locations within an ion-selective membrane where ion-exchange or complexation reactions occur, leading to the selective transport of ions. These sites are responsible for the membrane's ability to differentiate between different ionic species. The density and nature of these sites determine the selectivity and sensitivity of an ion-selective electrode.",
