Sodium Ionophore VI is a sodium-selective ionophore that can be used in ion-selective electrodes to monitor sodium levels in aqueous solutions. It is selective for sodium over calcium, magnesium, lithium, ammonium, and potassium ions. Sodium ionophore VI has been used in electrodes to determine the levels of sodium ions in human urine and serum, as well as in X. laevis oocytes.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
