An automatic system for determining the effects of temperature on the hysteresis curves of ion-selective electrodes.

Abstract

This paper describes an automatic system which measures the effect of temperature variations on the response of ion-selective electrodes (hysteresis curves). The system is managed by a computer program which plots hysteresis curves following a pre-established temperature cycle, from setting and controlling the temperature of the water-bath, to acquiring the response potentials of up to five electrodes after temperature stabilization.
