AccuSeries online ISE analysis

Ion-selective electrode measurement with controlled sample conditions and PMA support.

Select the electrode around the ion and sample

An ion-selective electrode develops an electrical response related to the activity of a target ion. AccuSeries can automate sample capture, conditioning, measurement and result reporting for an appropriate electrode method.

Sample pH, ionic strength, temperature and interfering ions affect the measurement. PMA reviews the target chemical form, buffer sequence, calibration standards and reference procedure together.

Plan the analytical method

Define the target ion

Specify its chemical form, reporting basis, units and required concentration range.

Control the sample conditions

Review pH, ionic strength, temperature and interfering ions before selecting conditioning.

Plan calibration and electrode care

Agree standards, known addition where applicable, cleaning and reference comparisons.

Typical application reviews

Fluoride

Compare fluoride ISE with a suitable colorimetric method for the sample range and matrix.

Ammonia and ammonium

Define the chemical form and reporting basis before selecting the electrode configuration.

Sodium and nitrate

Review the ion, measurement range, interfering constituents and sample handling.

The selected chemistry, range and preparation must represent the actual sample. Online process information supports the agreed operating decision and verification plan.

Prepare an application review

Share the analyte and chemical form, reporting units, normal and upset range, sample composition, colour and solids, temperature, transport conditions, reference method, required result frequency, number of streams and outputs. Include maintenance access, reagent replenishment and waste handling.

Frequently asked questions

What does an ion-selective electrode respond to?

Its response relates to the activity of the target ion under the method’s sample conditions. Conditioning and calibration connect that response with the required reported result.

Can one electrode measure every ion?

No. Electrode choice, range, sample conditions and interferences are specific to the ion and analytical method.

Why is sample conditioning important?

pH, ionic strength and temperature can affect electrode response. The buffer sequence, calibration and maintenance plan form part of the complete method.
