Chapter 1 Instrument Introduction


1.1 Test Principle

This electrolyte analyzer adopts the advanced ion selective electrode


technology. The test principle is based on the Nernst response of ion
selective electrode, the relationship of the tested ion concentration and
electrode’s electric potential could be described as the following
Nernst formula:

E = E0 + (RT/uF) * Ln(ax)

Among them:

E: Electric potential of ion selective electrode during test;

E0: Standard electric potential of ion selective electrode;

R: Gas constant (8.314/j•mol);

T: Absolute temperature ( (t+273)℃);

F: Faraday constant (96487C/mol);

ax: Tested ion’s concentration in solution;

It can be seen from the above formula: under certain condition, there’s
a linear relation between E and Ln(ax), we can get “ax” by testing E.

5: Seal ring

Use the syringe to aspirate


appropriate amount of
electrode filling solution

Note: the electrode chamber


should be filled with 2/3 to 3/4
electrode filling solution.

Fig. A 5: Add in the electrode filling solution

Note: Pictures are for reference only, please subject to the real object.

108
GE300/GE320 Manual

A 5.2 Electrode filling

The electrodes must be filled with filling solution before the use and
the dedicated syringe needle (the metal part is 8-10mm in length) is
needed to add in the filling solution to avoid poking the electrode
membrane. The electrode chamber should be filled with 2/3 to 3/4
filling solution (see Fig. A 5). Tighten the conductive pole and make
sure there are no bubbles between the filling solution and the
membrane. Clean and dry the electrode surface and install them
according to the electrode order.

A 5.3 Electrode maintenance and service

The newly installed electrodes must be activated by QC serum or


fresh serum for more than 2 hours.

While the electrode is in use, there will be pollution, poisoning and the
filling solution reducing, etc., reflected by the abnormal electrode drift
and electrode response (including electrode mV value abnormal and
electrode mV difference value abnormal). For the electrode pollution,
use the deprotein solution to clean the contaminant attached on the
electrode membrane, if seriously polluted, use the cotton thread to
clean the attachments by pulling it back and forth inside the electrode
hole (all the electrodes are strictly prohibited using hard object to
poke). If the filling solution decreased, toss out the remaining solution,
then refill with new filling solution.

If the mV value is abnormal or drifting, use QC serum or fresh serum to


activate the electrode for more than 2 hours until the electrodes are

Serial port communication explanation:

1) There may be multiple items in the frame. The item quantity is


determined by the instrument type and the ions to be tested.

2) All the sending data is ASCII code, if using serial port tool, switch to
the character format.

3) Each item name or data is separated by at least one space.

Typical frame analysis:

After testing a sample and QC sample, the instrument outputs a string


of character data through the RS-232 port, as shown below:
