Model 1302 - Microcathode Oxygen Electrodes - Manual

The 1302 oxygen electrodes are in use worldwide with Strathkelvin`s 782 and 929 instruments and other products. They have the advantage of small size, high precision, and the ability to operate in either stirred or unstirred media. They are supplied with pre-membraned polypropylene jackets, but for fast speed of response, a different jacket with FEP membranes should be used. With FEP membranes, they cannot be used unstirred and require vigorous water movement at the electrode tip. In all applications, the electrodes have to be housed in special electrode holders or accessories (see the Strathkelvin website: www.strathkelvin.com). These have been designed so that only the membrane at the electrode tip comes into contact with the medium. Failure to protect the electrode in this way can result in anode depolarisation and a shortening of the useful life of the electrode.
