easy to clean sleeve diaphragm

IMPORTANT: When not in daily use, store in LiCI sat. in ethanol and soak membrane in distilled water before use. However, when in daily use, store in distilled water, so that only the membrane is immersed, not the diaphragm. Before the measurement lift the diaphragm sleeve slightly and allow a small amount of electrolyte to flow out. Rinse the electrode with distilled water, replenish the reference electrolyte and start the titration (see bottom of chart).

IMPORTANT: Never fill the Solvotrode with LiCIO4 in glacial acetic acid!

* All these electodes are equipped with a Metrohm plub-in head G3

1) TEABr 0.4 mol/L tetra ethyl ammonium bromide in ethylene glycol (6.2320.000) is an electrolyte solution for non-aqueous titrations. It is very useful when titrating low acid contents with TBAOH. In such cases the LiCI sat. in ethanol (6.2312.000) would cause an alkali error during the measurement. The Solvotrode is a combined pH glass electrode specially designed for non-aqueous titrations. This electrode is normally filled with LiCI sat. in ethanol. However, when titrating with TBAOH we strongly recommend replacing the CiCI electrolyte with 0.4 mol/L TEABr in ethylene glycol. This electrolyte can of course also be used for all other non-aqueous titrations with various titrants.

2) TEGO trant A 100
6.2317.000 (6 g)
6.2317.010 (60 g)
Available on request 6.2317.020 (500 g)

3 To connect an electrode with plug-in head G to a Titrino or 726/796 Titroprocessor, use one of the following cables: 6.2104.020 (1 m), 6.2104.030 (2 m) or 6.2104.040 (3 m); to connect an electrode an electrode with plug-in head S to the above instruments, use cable 6.2104.510 (1 m). See Metrosensor Electrode Catalog for additional information.

Storage of the Solvotrode when not in daily use: Store the Solvotrode in LiCI sat. in ethanol. Use a normal electrode holder.
