ISE Incremental Methods Ion concentration determinations with ISEs can be made faster and easier using the streamlined incremental methods. Incremental methods involve adding a standard to a sample or sample to a standard and detecting the mV change that occurs due to the addition, and this difference determines the concentration. Historically the user would use mathematical equations to determine the ion concentration of the sample; the HI5522, sample concentrations are calculated automatically and then logged into an ISE method report; up to 200 reports can be saved for future recall. The entire process can be repeated on multiple samples without reentering sets of parameters. Reports can be printed using HI92000 PC software. Incremental method techniques can reduce errors from variables such as temperature, viscosity, pH or ionic strength. The electrodes remain immersed throughout the process, thus reducing measurement time as well as eliminating sample carry over and its associated errors. Known Addition, Known Subtraction, Analyte Addition, and Analyte Subtraction methods are standard method choices provided by the HI5522. ISE Features Sequence of Readings Once the variables are entered, the user is guided step-by-step through the measurement process. The initial mV measurement is made before the addition; next is the addition, followed by the second mV measurement. Results The results are automatically calculated and shown together with all the parameters used. At this time, results can be saved into an ISE Methods Report and printed using the HI92000 PC software. First Step The first step in performing an incremental method analysis is to enter the required parameters including sample, ISA and standard volumes, as well as standard concentration and stoichiometric factor. When repeating the analysis on another sample, the parameters do not need to be reentered. • Low Profile · HI5522 features a low profile with an ideal viewing angle 3 ISE 3.9 www.hannainst.com | benchtop
