Potassium Electrode

Meter 

The meter may be checked by following the checkout procedure in the instrument instruction 
manual. 
 

Glassware 

Clean glassware is essential for good measurement. Be sure to wash the glassware well with a mild 
detergent and rinse very well with distilled or deionized water. Clean glassware will drain without 
leaving water droplets behind. 

 

Electrodes 

The electrodes may be checked by using the procedure found in the sections entitled 

Electrode 

Slope Check

 

1. 

Be sure to use distilled or deionized water when following the procedures given in 

Electrode Slope Check

 
2. 

If the electrode fails to respond as expected, see the sections 

Measuring Hints

 

and 

Electrode Response

.  Repeat the slope check. 

 
3. 

If the electrode(s) still fail to respond as expected, substitute another potassium ion 
electrode that is known to be in good working order for the questionable electrode. If the 
problem persists and you are using an electrode pair, try the same routine with a working 
reference electrode. 

 
4. 

If the problem persists, the reagent may be of poor quality, interferences in the sample may 
be present or the technique may be faulty. See 

Reagents,  Sample

, and 

Technique 

sections below. 

 
5. 

If another electrode is not available for test purposes, or if the electrode in use is suspect, 
review the instruction manual and be sure to: 

- Clean and rinse the electrode(s) thoroughly. 
   - Prepare the electrode(s) properly. 
   - Use the proper filling solution. 
   - Adjust the pH and the ionic strength of the solution by the use of the proper ISA. 
   - Measure correctly and accurately. 
   - Review 

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

.

 

 

Reagents 

 
Whenever problems arise with the measuring procedure that has been used successfully in the past, 
be sure to check the reagent solutions. If in doubt about the credibility of any of the reagents, 
prepare them again. Errors may result from contamination of the ISA, incorrect dilution, poor 
quality distilled/deionized water, or a simple mathematical miscalculation. 
 

Sample 

Look for possible interferences, complexing agents, or substances which could affect the response 
or physically damage the sensing electrode (or the reference electrode) if the electrode(s) work 
perfectly in the standard, but not in the sample. Try to determine the composition of the samples 
prior to testing to eliminate a problem before it starts. See sections on 

Measuring HintsSample
