Page 71: Impact Of Ph
Impact of pH The usable pH range is determined depending on the type and structure of the ion selective electrode. In general, this range is smaller when the concentration of the ions to be measured is lower. Also, depending on the ion selective electrodes, the components of the ion selective membrane may be dissolved depending on the pH or the electrode potential may change due to the impact of the pH. -
Page 72: Table 5 Relationship Between Temperature Of Ion Selective Electrode And Theoretical Slope
Impact of temperature The potential gradient measured by the ion electrode method is impacted by the temperature of the sample solution in accordance with the Nernst equation. The higher the temperature is, the larger the potential gradient is. The lower the temperature is, the smaller the potential gradient is. The standard solution in calibration and the sample solution in measurement shall have almost the same temperature. -
Page 73: Impact Of Stirring
If the temperature of the sample solution in measurement differs from the temperature of the standard solution in calibration, perform calibration again. When the electrode is moved to a place that has a different temperature, wait until the temperature of the electrode becomes same as the temperature of that place before using the electrode. -

The following table lists the cations that cause a 10% error with respect to the Ca concentration, and their corresponding concentrations. -
Page 75: Response Time
Response time The response times of ion selective electrodes differ depending on factors such as the type and structure of the electrode, and type and concentration of ions.
