The Metrohm Solvotrode combination pH glass electrode has been specially designed for use with nonaqueous acid-base titrations.
This new electrode makes complicated titrations easier because it can be used in many applications where it was previously necessary to use three and four electrode systems due to electrostatic interferences.
Special glass membrane design.
The pH glass membrane of the Solvotrode is made of low-impedance glass, shaped in a relatively large sphere which results in very stable measurements, even in poorly conducting solutions.
New shielded reference system.
The inner electrolyte tube of the Solvotrode is coated with a special conductor that ensures an optimally shielded reference system, regardless of the electrolyte level.
This additional shielding is particularly important for nonaqueous measurements and titrations since it will virtually eliminate static electricity interferences.
Easy to handle diaphragm.
The built-in reference electrode is equipped with a removable PCTFE (polychlorotrifluoroethylene) ground-joint diaphragm that is easy to clean and less sensitive to contamination or blockage.
"Long Life" Reference system.
This new electrode also uses the Metrohm "Long Life" reference system: an Ag/AgCl cartridge with a silver ion barrier that ensures an extended life and consistent measurements. Request a free brochure from Metrohm UK ...
