Hanna Instruments Ion Selective Electrodes Lead/Sulfate

The HI-4112 is a solid state, combination ion selective electrode (ISE) for the determination of lead (Pb2+) in solution and indicator for sulphate in titrations. The lead sulphide sensing pellet produces a potential change due to the ion exchange between the inorganic pellet membrane and the sample. The internal sensing elements are housed within a durable polyetherimide (PEI) body. The HI4112 is ideal for a variety of applications in the plating industry and environmental monitoring.

The HI-4112 is a Lead/Sulphate combination ISE ideal for the determination of Lead ions in plating baths and as an indicator for titrations.
The HI-4112 lead/sulphate selective electrode is a complete potentiometric cell that contains a silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) reference housed within a PEI plastic body with a potassium nitrate electrolyte. The internal elements are isolated from the sample by a compressed lead sulphide sensing membrane.
Hanna's solid state combination ISEs are designed with a cone style junction. The skirted cone geometry of the sensor forms the liquid junction with the test solution at the tip of the junction cone, producing a highly stable reference potential and consistent flow rates of electrolyte into the solution. A simple press of the top portion of the ISE makes it easy to empty the electrolyte fill solution and replace when necessary.
For the HI-4112 to measure lead accurately, it is important that the ionic strength of the standards and sample be adjusted to a high and constant value with the lead ionic strength adjuster (ISA) solution. The ISA ensures that the activity coefficient is constant so the concentration of free lead ions can be measured. Measuring all solutions with a constant ionic strength reduces the margin of error between measurements. The HI-4112 lead/sulphate solid state ISE can measure from 1µM (0.21 mg/L) to 0.1M (20,700 mg/L).
