Introduction
This Chloride Ion Selective Electrode (ISE) Probe is a
combination electrode that includes both reference and
sensing half cells in one body housing. It is used for
measuring chloride ion (Cl
-
) activity in aqueous samples.
Technology: Replaceable Polymer/PVC Membrane
(Chloride ISE Replacement Module PS-3550)

1000 ppm Chloride Standard Solution
•
Ionic Strength Adjuster (ISE)
(*SC-3534 Chloride ISE Solutions)
Electrode Preparation
Replace the Module Blank
This electrode performs better when the reference
junction is kept wetted during transit and storage.
However, the sensor module is best stored and
transported dry. Therefore, the electrode is shipped with
a plastic Module Blank inside that must be removed prior
to use.
1. Unscrew the cap of the storage solution bottle (also
known as “Soaker Bottle”) and remove the
electrode. Unscrew the plastic Module Blank from
the end of the electrode. Replace the blank with the
included Calcium ISE Replacement Module.
•
The Module Blank can be retained for long term
storage.
•
Caution: Do not touch the PVC sensor membrane
on the end of the Calcium ISE Replacement Module
with your fingers.
2. Thoroughly rinse the electrode with distilled water.
Wipe carefully with a clean lab wipe.
3. Return the electrode to the storage bottle when it is
not in use.
Fill the Electrode with Electrolyte
The reference (outer) chamber must be filled with
Reference Fill Solution and remain open during testing:
