Here are its applications:
1. Clinical Analysis:
Determination of sodium, potassium, calcium, and lithium levels in blood and urine.
2. Agriculture:
Measuring potassium and calcium in soils.
3. Environmental Monitoring:
Determining sodium and potassium in water samples.
4. Industry:
Analysis of metal salts in products or raw materials.
5. Research:
Studying metal ion reactions and behaviors in various conditions.
