c(LiCl) = 2 mol/L in easy to clean sleeve Ethanol diaphragm 020094435 (6.2312.010) IMPORTANT: When not in daily use, store in LiCI sat. in ethanol and soak membrane in distilled water before use. However, when in daily use, store in distilled water, so that only the membrane is immersed, not the diaphragm. Before the measurement lift the diaphragm sleeve slightly and allow a small amount of electrolyte to flow out. Rinse the electrode with distilled water, replenish the reference electrolyte and start the titration (see bottom of chart). IMPORTANT: Never fill the Solvotrode with LiCIO4 in glacial acetic acid!

TEABr 0.4 mol/L tetra ethyl ammonium bromide in ethylene glycol (020094451) is an electrolyte solution for non-aqueous titrations. It is very useful when titrating low acid contents with TBAOH. In such cases the 2 mol/L LiCI in ethanol (020094435) would cause an alkali error during the measurement. The Solvotrode is a combined pH glass electrode specially designed for non-aqueous titrations. This electrode is normally filled with LiCI sat. in ethanol. However, when titrating with TBAOH we strongly recommend replacing the CiCI electrolyte with 0.4 mol/L TEABr in ethylene glycol. This electrolyte can of course also be used for all other non-aqueous titrations with various titrants.

To connect an electrode with plug-in head G to a Titrino or 726/796 Titroprocessor, use one of the following cables: 020977345 (1 m) or 020977353 (3 m). See Metrosensor Electrode Catalog for additional information. Storage of the Solvotrode when not in daily use: Store the Solvotrode in 2 mol/L LiCI in ethanol. Use a normal Electrode holder.
