0..5V and allows the in situ determination of pH and redox (oxidation reduction potential) in natural waters as oceans, lakes, rivers and estuaries, at depths down to 600 bar. The OCEAN SEVEN 306 pH and redox combined sensor, is specifically designed to simplify the integration in CTD probes.
OCEAN SEVEN 306 - pH and redox probe 1.1.2. Reference sensor Internal cell: Ag/AgCl filled with solid gel. Max pressure: 700 bar. Sensor body: titanium. Life: 1 year if intensively used for monitoring, up to 2 years if used weekly for daily profiling or monitoring.
OCEAN SEVEN 306 - pH and redox probe potential of the reference electrode with respect to hydrogen must be always added to the value measured by our probe. When using reference electrodes different from the hydrogen ones, it is usual practice to present data as Eh by obviously taking into account the potential of the reference electrode with respect to the hydrogen electrode.

DAILY OPERATIONS The OCEAN SEVEN 306 pH and reference sensors are protected by hydrating caps which prevent the sensors from dehydration. First of all, remove the hydrating cap and soak the sensors with water. If needed, carry out a pH sensor calibration (see calibration section) and then connect the pH &...
If the variation voltage is greater than 70% of the pH sensor slope, the reference is contaminated or exhausted and must be replaced. Thus: ΔV = V – Nominal V OUTpH7 The below table resumes the maximum permitted variation voltage for each OCEAN SEVEN 306 measuring range. Measuring range Nominal VOUT Nom. slope Max. ΔV 0..14 pH...
OCEAN SEVEN 306 - pH and redox probe Temperature Sample temperature in °C. 58.168 Nerst constant at 20° C. 54.2 Nerst constant at 0° C. 0.1984 V per pH unit per °C. The above calculation is based on the following assumption: The NERST equation, E = E0 + 2.303 RT/nF log a, predicts the theoretical output of any electrochemical cell.
6.1. REFERENCE SENSOR During all periods of non use, the reference sensor must be always hydrated with the IDRONAUT REFERENCE SENSOR STORAGE SOLUTION or, if not available, even with a KCl saturated solution, using its plastic hydrating cap. Fill the cap to about one third with the solution. The cap should be squeezed in order to allow an easy insertion.
The caps must be respectively filled with pH7 Buffer Solution (or simply with clean water) and Idronaut Reference Sensor Storage Solution (or even with KCl saturated solution). Alternatively for a short time (i.e. half a day), immerse the probe sensor head in clean water to prevent the pH and reference sensor dehydration.
“R10”. After the modification, it is mandatory to calculate the new SLOPE factor. 7.2. DETERMINATION OF THE pH SLOPE FACTOR The OCEAN SEVEN 306 pH electronic preamplifier is linear and therefore the SLOPE can be calculated by using two pH buffers only. To obtain the SLOPE, proceed as follows: ...
