6122 series

Gel-filled Self-Cleaning pH Electrode

Wastewater treatment and control requires adequate continuous pH analysis to meet with individual local regulations. This gel-filled self-cleaning pH electrode enables reducing user’s maintenance frequencies and cost of time. This electrode incorporates photocatalysis effect in order to prevent the organic contaminates on the surface of the glass responsive membrane. Our patented unique technical details follows later. The effect varies depending on the water sample quality and analysis environment.

＊The effect varies depending on the customer's usage environment. Effective against organic stains.

Self-cleaning Mechanism

The pH-responsive glass membrane is coated with porous TiO₂ and irradiated with UV light from within the electrode. This process activates the TiO₂ coating, resulting in photocatalytic hydrophilicity and the formation of a water film (hydrophilic layer) on the surface, effectively preventing the adhesion of organic contaminants.
Furthermore, the activated TiO₂ facilitates the radicalization of water (H₂O) and oxygen, enabling the disintegration of organic contaminants adhering to the external surface of the electrode.

・6122S and 6122SA electrodes are resistant against organic foulants. Inorganic foulants may not be effective.
・Even an organic foulants may not be effective for clean water where algae is likely to grow, or for samples containing solid oils and fats. Also, fine particles of alumina or zirconia may scrape the photocatalyst, the antifouling may not be possible.
・When using this electrode, a relay box with a constant current source (CT-302) and a relay cable (C-5A) are required separately

※1 Composite type pH electrode 6108 is recommended when a high accuracy is required for strong acid and strong alkaline aqueous solutions.
※2 At sample temperatures above 30 °C, the electrode life will be shortened.
※3 An adapter is required when using the 6122S as a drop-in type.
※4 A direct screw-in thread adapter is required when using the 6122SA as a direct insertion type.
