    Replacement membrane sleeves can be purchased in packages of four (WPI #95620), along with filling solution (WPI #95611). A startup kit for this sensor is available and is recommended for the first purchase of this sensor type (WPI #95699).
  • Page 7: Parts List

    Please contact WPI Customer Service if any parts are missing at 941.371.1003 or customerservice@wpiinc.com. The ISO-COP-2 sensor is shipped in a sealed, rigid plastic, hinged box with foam padding to avoid damage to your sensor during shipment. The tip of the sensor is protected by inserting it into a small, plastic vial containing deionized water (DIW) to keep the membrane from drying out.
  • Page 8 KEEP THE SENSOR STORAGE BOX and all the documentation in a safe place. Use of the sensor should begin within 30 days of receipt. Returns: Do not return any goods to WPI without obtaining prior approval (RMA # required) and instructions from WPI’s Returns Department. Goods returned (unauthorized) by collect freight may be refused.

    ISO-COP-2 INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION Structure of the Sensor The basic structure of the ISO-COP-2 sensor is shown below (Fig. 2). Fig. 2—ISO-COP-2 Sensor assembly Gas permeable, polymeric membrane covering the end of the stainless  sleeve to separate it from the external environment Disposable, protective stainless steel sleeve (WPI#95620) that houses the ...

    The CO electrolyte filling solution (WPI #95611) must be made fresh when you are ready to use the sensor, so the ISO-COP-2 sensor is shipped with a dry membrane sleeve. Before using it, you must fill the sleeve with the CO electrolyte filling solution.
  • Page 11: Polarizing The Sensor

    Turn on the free radical analyzer. Set the poise voltage to 950mV. The ISO-COP-2 sensor should be allowed up to 12 hours to reach a stable base- line current of 1000-8000pA before it is used for measurement. During initial polarization the current is typically very high (well above 10nA), but within an hour it will begin to decrease rapidly.

    If the probe was used in a protein-rich solution, the tip should first be soaked in a protease solution for several minutes to remove protein build-up, and then in distilled water. Enzymatic detergent (for example, Enzol, WPI#7363) can also be used. World Precision Instruments...

    Filling a single ISO-COP-2 sensor sleeve requires about 1mL. Dip the internal electrode 1-2cm into the ISO-COP-2 electrolyte (WPI #95611 pro- vided in the ISO-COP-2 start-up kit. The current will rise rapidly offscale. Using the MicroFil™ nonmetallic syringe needle (WPI #MF28G67-5) and 1mL plastic syringe (included in the Startup kit) inject approximately 100µL of freshly mixed CO elec-...
  • Page 14 (1M). If the current increases dramatically or is offscale then the membrane integrity is not good and a new membrane will have to be fitted. Additional ISO-COP-2 membranes (packages of 4) are available from WPI (#95620).
