A liquid-membrane microelectrode (less than or equal to 1 micron tip diameter) using macrotetrolide antibiotics as ion-selective components is described. The electrode shows selectivities of NH4+ over K+, Na+ and H+ of 3.8, 100 and 150, respectively. The stability and reproducibility of the sensor signal and the response time are determined in solutions with a typical intracellular ion background. The microelectrode does not suffer from significant interference by inorganic and organic inhibitors and lipophilic cations, but high concentrations of lipophilic anions may interfere considerably.
