ISO-OXY-2/OXELP ABOUT THIS MANUAL The following symbols are used in this guide: This symbol indicates a CAUTION. Cautions warn against actions that can cause damage to equipment. Please read these carefully. This symbol indicates a WARNING. Warnings alert you to actions that can cause personal injury or pose a physical threat.
Replacement membrane sleeves (pkg. of four) and filling solution can be purchased in a kit (WPI #5378). Filling solution can also be purchase separately (WPI #7326). A startup kit for this sensor is available and is recommended for the first purchase of this sensor type (WPI #5377).
Concealed damage should be reported at once to the carrier and an inspection requested. Please read the section entitled “Claims and Returns” on page 15 of this manual. Please contact WPI Customer Service if any parts are missing at 941.371.1003 or customerservice@wpiinc.com.
Additional membrane sleeves are available in packages of 4 with electrolyte filling solution (WPI #5378). The start-up kit (WPI #5377) also includes replacement membrane sleeves, along with all the accessories to fill them properly with electrolyte solution.
NOTE: For additional sensor calibration procedures and calibration theory, refer to the free radical analyzer manual. Most WPI manuals can be downloaded directly from www.wpiinc.com. This information can also be e-mailed when you contact the WPI Technical Support team at 941.371.1003 or technicalsupport@wpiinc.com.

WPI tests ISO-OXY-2 and OXELP sensors using a 0.1M PBS test media at room temperature. A sensor is tested at three known oxygen levels (0%, 21% and 100%). Known concentrations are obtained as follows: • 0% O – PBS (standard test media) is purged with 100% N •...

ISO-OXY-2/OXELP For 100% O concentration, insert an 18-gauge needle into the 100% vial and vigorously bubble it with 100% O gas at a constant rate for 10 minutes to saturate the solution. Drop a small stir bar into the vial with 100% O solution and place it on the magnetic stirring plate.

ISO-OXY-2/OXELP SENSOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE Durability and Handling The sensor is relatively durable, except for the membrane sleeve. Exercise caution when handling any sensor to avoid actions that could damage the sensor tip. Pay particular attention to the sensor membrane, because the membrane is extremely delicate and improper handling will lead to damage.
Dip the internal electrode 1-2cm into the ISO2 Filling Solution (WPI #7326) included in the start-up kit (WPI #5377. In the 1µA range, the current rises rapidly off scale. Then, the current value will beging to fall. Using the MicroFil™...

(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 membranes (packages of 4) with filling solution are available from WPI (#5378). World Precision Instruments...

The kit includes: • Calibration bottle •...
ISO-OXY-2/OXELP TROUBLESHOOTING Issue Possible Cause Solution The poise voltage (sensor set- Set the poise voltage to -700mV. (For ting) may be incorrectly set. the TBR, choosing the O sensor setting selects -700mV automatically.) Set the range at 10nA. The sensor may be nearing the Perform a standard calibration with at end of its usable life.
NOTE: If you have a problem/issue with your sensor that falls outside the definitions of this troubleshooting section, first perform the Calibration Procedure exactly as describe on page 5 of this manual and contact the WPI Technical Support team at 941.371.1003 or technicalsupport@wpiinc.com.
