Before Use
About this product
Product features
The combination type fluoride ion selective electrode is an electrode that
combines a tip type ion electrode with a reference electrode.
This product has the following features.
Ion concentration can be measured with this one electrode. There is no
need to use a pair of an ion selective electrode and reference electrode.
The reference electrode part has a double junction structure. This
minimizes the contamination of the sample solution by the internal
solution outflow, the interference on the electrode potential, and so on.
Since the structure of the liquid junction, movable sleeve type, is capable
of eliminating clogging by contaminants, it is possible to measure the
concentration accurately.
System configuration
This product is used with the meter of HORIBA Advanced Techno
connected, which is sold separately.
Electrode stand(*) is also available.
