Bromide Electrode 
 
 
2. 
Place the more dilute solution on the magnetic stirrer and begin stirring at a constant rate. 
Assure that the meter is in the concentration mode. Lower the electrode tips into the 
solution. 
3. 
Adjust the meter to the concentration of the standard and fix the value in the memory 
according to the meter manufacturer's instructions after stabilization of the reading. 
 
4. 
Rinse the electrodes with distilled water and blot dry. 
 
5. 
Place the more concentrated solution on the magnetic stirrer and begin stirring at a 
constant rate. Lower the electrode tips into the solution. 
 
6. 
Adjust the meter to the concentration of the standard and fix the value in the memory 
according to the meter manufacturer's instructions after stabilization of the reading. 
 
7. 
For low level bromide measurements, place the rinsed, dried electrodes into a solution 
containing 100 ml of distilled water and 2 ml of ISA. After stabilization, fix the blank 
value into the meter according to the meter manufacturer's instructions. 
  
8. 
Place 100 ml of the sample and 2 ml of ISA in a 150 ml beaker, place it on the magnetic 
stirrer, an d begin stirring. 
 
9. 
Immerse the electrode tips in the solution and wait for the reading to stabilize.  Read the 
concentration directly from the meter display. 
 
10.  The calibration should be checked every two hours. Assuming no change in ambient 
temperature, place the electrode tips in the first bromide standard. After the reading has 
stabilized, compare it to the original reading in Step 3 above. A reading differing by more 
than 0.5 mV or a change in the ambient temperature will necessitate the repetition of steps 
2-6 above. The meter should be re-calibrated daily. 
 
 
Low Level Bromide Determinations (using a pH/mV meter) 
 
This procedure is recommended for solutions containing less than 2.0X10
-6
M (0.2 ppm). Use the 
following low level bromide measurement procedure in the non-linear portion of the calibration 
curve.  (See Figure 1.) 
 
1. 
Using 20 ml of the standard ISA, dilute to 100 ml with distilled water. This low level 
(1.0M NaNO
3
) is added at the rate of 1 ml low level ISA to each 100 ml of sample. The 
background ionic strength will be 1.0X10
-2
M. 
 
2. 
Dilute 1 ml of 0.1M standard to 1,000 ml to prepare a 1.0X10
-4
M standard solution for 
measurements in moles per liter. Dilute 10 ml of 1,000 ppm standard to 1,000 ml to 
prepare a 10 ppm standard solution for measurements in ppm. 
 
3. 
Add 100 ml of distilled water to a 150 ml beaker. Add 1 ml of low level ISA, place the 
beaker on the magnetic stirrer, and begin stirring at a constant rate.
