A new PVC membrane sensor is described as a potentiometric sensor for amiloride. The sensor having amiloride-sodium tetraphenyl phthalate (ion-pair) as an electroactive material and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) as an anion excluder in PVC matrix in the percentage ratio of 4:66:30 (ion-pair: DBP:PVC) (w/w). The membrane sensor exhibits suitable response to amiloride in a concentration range of 1.0 x 10(-2) to 1.0 x 10(-6) mol L-1 with a limit of detection of 9.9 x 10(-7) mol L-1. The slope of the system was -54.3 +/- 1.0 mV decade(-1) over pH range of 2.0-7.0. Selectivity coefficients for amiloride relative to a numbers of potential interfering substances were investigated. The sensor was highly selective for amiloride over a large number of similar compounds. The sensor showing a fast response time of 6s and was used over a period of 2 months with a good reproducibility. The sensor was successfully applied to determination of amiloride in pharmaceutical samples with satisfactory results. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
