CA610
Fluoride Analyzer

Features and Benefits


Reliable, Full-time Fluoride Monitoring
The CA610 Fluoride Analyzer uses advanced ion-selective
electrode (ISE) technology for continuous monitoring of
fluoride concentration in drinking water effluent. Accuracy is
ensured with precise control of temperature, ionic strength,
and pH. Interferences that can bias measurements are
virtually eliminated with this electrode.

Patented Electrode Design with Replaceable Tip


The proven ISE technology of
the electrode is enhanced by
a patented* design and
manufacturing process.
The lanthanum crystal at the tip
of the probe is molded into a
one-piece, monolithic tip that is
threaded for easy removal. This
prevents errors and premature
failures. Electrodes are equipped
with BNC connectors so that they can be independently
checked with laboratory electrochemical meters.

The Hach CA610 Fluoride Analyzer offers economical


analysis using just 500 mL of reagent per month.
Calibration is automatic and sample conditioning is built-in.
Electrode maintenance is easy and economical
just replace the tip of the sensor.

Automatic Calibration

Cost Effective Operation


The electrode of the CA610 analyzer is made with a molded
fluoride crystal tip. The working life of the electrode is
approximately one year. The specially designed tip of the
electrode should be replaced every six months. Reagent
consumption is very low and maintenance is simple.

Method of Analysis
The ISE system of the CA610 analyzer includes a reference
pH electrode and a working electrode. Three reagents are
usedTotal Ionic Strength Adjustment Buffer (TISAB)
solution and two fluoride standards. The TISAB is used for
the following purposes.
Ionic strength adjustment lets the electrode respond to
concentration instead of activity.
pH control ensures fluoride is present in its ionic state.
Weak complexes formed by certain metals (for example,
aluminum) are broken up by TISAB and chelates
potential interferents for accurate fluoride measurement.

DW

Two calibration standards are fully enclosed in the CA610


analyzers case. The instrument performs a 2-point
calibration at 0.5 and 5.0 mg/L fluoride at user-selected time
intervals. Automatic calibration intervals can be set for 1 day
to 1 month. Readings and calculations of the most recent
calibration is stored in the instrument.

Applications
Drinking Water PlantsThe CA610 analyzer accurately
measures fluoride concentration regardless of the form in
fluoride is addedliquid fluorosilicic acid (H2SiF6), sodium
silicofluoride (Na2SiF6), or sodium fluoride (NaF).
Remote LocationsBecause it produces only a small
amount of waste and requires minimal maintenance, it is
well-suited for remote locations.
Industrial LocationsFluoride may occur naturally in water
or it may be the result of fertilizer run-off or discharge from
aluminum factories. The CA610 analyzer is an effective tool
to monitor either influent or effluent stream.
