Because of its many advantages, the voltammetric wall-jet detector (WJD) has become popular for use in liquid chromatography, flow injection analysis (FIA), and continuous flow analysis. There are, however, few studies of wall-jet detectors with ion-selective electrodes. Of these, only Frenzel and Braetter extensively investigated the ion-selective electrode wall-jet detector (ISE-WJD). While concluding the wall-jet was the best of several possible ISE detector configurations, Frenzel and Braetter did not describe optimized operating conditions for the ISE-WJD. This work describes a simply constructed ISE-WJD; a fluoride-selective electrode was used to investigate the effects of flow rate, jet-nozzle electrode distance, jet-orifice diameter, and sample size and detector performance. Equipped with a flat-membrane pH electrode, the ISE-WJD was also explored for the FIA determination of pH.
