Hanna Photometric Electrodesfor Use with our Automatic Potentiometric Titrators
These photometric probes are used with a potentiometric titration for equivalence end point detection of colorimetric reactions. These probes are available in 4 different wavelengths from 470 nm to 625 nm and have a universal BNC connector that is used as a potentiometric input on Hanna titrators and autosamplers.

About Photometric Electrodes
pH, ORP and ISE electrodes are commonly used in potentiometric titrations. These probes produce a voltage that changes as a titrant is dosed into the sample being analyzed. The Hanna family of photometric probes use the principle of absorbance at a specific wavelength to identify the equivalence point of a titration with the use of a color indicator. The color change of a solution causes a sharp change in the absorbance which also causes a sharp change in the mV response. It is common for a complexometric titration to end in a flat mV response. Using the Hanna potentiometric titrator it is possible to program the meter to use the first derivative as the end point. This program is ideal since when a color indicator is used the color change occurs very distinctly.
The use of a photometric probe for potentiometric titration can be used for a variety of complexometric titrations including calcium and magnesium water hardness and iron, aluminum and calcium in cement materials testing. The photometric probe is also ideal for non-aqueous titrations such as Total Acid Number (TAN) and Total Base Number (TBN) of petroleum products due to its advantages over a standard pH electrode.
With the photometric probe there is no fill solution to change in order to be compatible with a non-aqueous sample and there is no pH sensor to foul.

Features

Reflective measurement
Allows for a high color sensitivity in a compact design. Each probe has an LED at a specific wavelength that shines light through the sample and reflected back by a platinum mirror sealed in glass. The reflective measurement has a fixed path length and allows for a high color sensitivity in a compact design.

Open cell design
The probes’ open cell design that allows for the solution to pass through with the use of a stirrer.

Glass body
All of the photometric probes have a glass body that offers excellent chemical resistance. The body of the electrode is 12 mm in diameter and fits easily into sampling beakers.

Universal BNC connector
Hanna Photometric Electrodes feature a universal BNC connector that is used as a potentiometric input on Hanna titrators and autosamplers.

Temperature compensation
Drift from variances in temperature are automatically compensated.

LED brightness trimmer
If needed, a trimmer is provided in the head of the eletrode to adjust the led output value.
HI90060x Series of Photometric Electrodes
