GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 
 
Introduction 
 
Eutech Instruments Bromide Electrode is used to measure free bromide ion in aqueous solutions 
quickly, simply, accurately, and economically. 
 
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. 
 
3. 
A magnetic stirrer. 
 
4. 
Eutech Bromide Ion Combination Epoxy-body Electrode, Code no. EC-BRO-03. 
 
5. 
Polishing Paper, Code no. EC-MIS-PP, to polish dirty or etched electrode membranes. 
 
 
Required Solutions 
 
1. 
Deionized or distilled water for solution and standard preparation. 
 
2. 
Eutech Ionic Strength Adjuster (ISA), 5M NaNO
3
, Code no. EC-ISA-BR1-BT. To prepare 
this solution from your own laboratory stock, half-fill a 1,000 ml volumetric flask with 
distilled water and add 425 grams of reagent-grade sodium nitrate. Swirl the flask gently to 
dissolve the solid. Fill to the mark with distilled water, cap, and upend the flask several 
times to mix the solution. 
 
3. 
Eutech Bromide Standard, 0.1M NaBr, Code no. EC-SCS-BR1-BT. To prepare this 
solution from your own laboratory stock, half-fill a one liter volumetric flask with distilled 
water and add 10.3 grams of reagent-grade sodium bromide, NaBr. Swirl the flask gently 
to dissolve the solid. Fill to the mark with distilled water, cap, and upend several times to 
mix the solution. 
 
4. 
Eutech Bromide Standard, 1,000 ppm Br-
1
, Code no. EC-SCS-BR2-BT. To prepare this 
solution from your own laboratory stock, half-fill a one liter volumetric flask with distilled 
water and add 1.29 grams of reagent-grade NaBr. Swirl the flask gently to dissolve the 
solid. Fill the flask to the mark with distilled water, cap, and upend several times to mix 
the solution.
