  • Magnesium ion selective membranes
    Patent number: 12222310
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to membranes, sensors, systems and process for the detection of magnesium ions in protein-containing samples. The novel membranes, sensors, systems, and processes are based upon the discovery that the lipophilicity of the plasticizer (or blend of plasticizers) utilized in the formulation of magnesium ion selective membranes for clinical use is inversely proportional to the sensitivity of the plasticizer(s) and directly proportional to the use life thereof.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 10, 2023
    Date of Patent: February 11, 2025
    Assignee: Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc.
    Inventors: John Benco, Robert Bergquist
