Hull Potential and Corrosion

Hull Potential and Corrosion

Hull Potential and Corrosion Owning a boat is usually expensive. Protecting the hull from corrosion and reducing the time a boat spends out of the water is therefore important to all owners of Aluminium and Steel hulled craft. We explain how and why we measure hull...

Ion Selective Electrodes – Theory

Ion Selective Electrodes (ISE) Theory What is an ISE and how do they work?  The first in a series of posts to help you understand the principles behind ISE analysis.   ION SELECTIVE ELECTRODES (ISEs) Introduction An Ion selective electrode is an electrochemical...
Measuring Aluminium Ions

Measuring Aluminium Ions

Measuring Aluminium Ions There is no Ion Selective Electrode for Aluminium however due to the strong reaction with Fluoride in solution an indirect method is possible using a Fluoride ISE and some prepared reagents. A simpler method is possible   DETERMINATION OF...
EDT Electrodes and Mettler Toledo Meters

EDT Electrodes and Mettler Toledo Meters

EDT Electrodes and Mettler Toledo Meters There are many pH and ION meters in laboratories all over the world. Many years ago some manufacturers had their own style of connector which prevented competitors from substituting their electrodes with their own. Now the vast...
Methods of Analysis by ISE

Methods of Analysis by ISE

Methods of Analysis by ISE Unlike a pH electrode an ISE is not just dipped into a solution and a direct readout obtained. There are several ways to get the right result and this will often depend on the type of sample and the environment  the sample is located in. ...
