Ion Selective Electrode for Nitrate

NO₃^-

Technical Data Sheet

Structure of the Electrode

range^*:

10^-5 to 1 mole nitrate
0.4 to 60,000 mg/L nitrate

The nitrate selective electrode is a matrix membrane electrode with a solid contact contact. The flexible ammonia selective membrane is made from a special organic ion exchanger which is dissolved in an organic solvent and embedded into a PVC matrix.
As an organic phase the resulting "liquid membrane" is fixed by the PVC matrix and renders a stable phase boundary.
An ion selective solid state membrane forms the discharge contact for the equilibrium voltage which develops at the phase boundary.
Both the shaft and the ion selective membrane are made from PVC. This should be taken into account when using the electrode.
