GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Introduction
Eutech Carbon Dioxide Gas-Sensing Electrode is used to measure carbon dioxide, carbonate, and
bicarbonate in aqueous solutions quickly, simply, accurately, and economically. With a flow-
through cap, the electrode can be used in flow-through applications.
Required Equipment
1.
A pH/mV meter or an ion meter, either line operated or portable.
2.
Semi-logarithmic 4-cycle graph paper for preparing calibration curves when using the
meter in the mV mode.
