Structure of the electrode

The oxygen-sensitive electrode is an amperometric sensor with a platinum electrode, a Teflon membrane and a Ag/AgCl standard. It is operating according to the Clark principle. The sensor has an integrated temperature sensor that can be used for temperature determinations and which is used for temperature compensation if the sensor is used in combination with the OXIMETER 7110. While the lifetime of the electrode is several years the electrolyte should be replaced after several months in order to guarantee proper and precise operation. Therefore, the membrane cap is removable.
