Potassium Ion Sensor

Introduction

♦  Potassium Ion Sensor is used to detect potassium ion in solution. It is able to measure in real time with datalogger and software.

Usage

♦  Take out the electrode cover. Rinse the electrode using distilled water. Dry it using filter paper.

♦  Connect electrode to sensor, datalogger and computer.

♦  Open SWR iLab. Potassium Ion Sensor has been calibrated before manufacturing. Immerse the electrode into solution. Collect data when the electrode becomes stable.

♦  When the experiment is completed, rinse the electrode using distilled water immediately. Dry it using filter paper. Cover the electrode and preserve it in bag.

Notes

♦  Immerse the electrode completely in the solution to be measured during measuring.

♦  To ensure the accuracy, the demarcation of electrode should be corresponding to temperature, ion strength and stir velocity.

♦  When change the sample to test, rinse the electrode using distilled water first. Dry it using filter paper. Immerse the electrode into next solution. It will prevent cross-contamination.

♦  The pH value of sample should be within 4-9. You should refer to journals as many as possible or use recognized measure method (such as national standard) to make sure proper usage.

♦  High concentration of sodion and ammonium ion will affect the experimental result.

♦  Keep the plug of electrode dry and clean. Try to avoid corrosion and contamination occur on it.

♦  Try to avoid friction and strong vibration occur on electrode during using.

♦  Do not dry the electrode using gauze or tissue. It may damage sensing membrane.

Typical experiment

♦  Detect concentration of potassium ion in KCl
