During analysis, a membrane potential develops as a result of the interaction of
the analyte (ion) at the membrane. The membrane potential is related to the
amount of substance being measured in the sample. The half-cell potential in the
sensor consists of the inner reference element potential plus the membrane
potential.

The equation for calculating electrochemical cell potential can be expanded to
include the inner reference element and the membrane potential of the ISE.
