Abstract
Abstract An ion sensitive electrode comprises a small disc of ion selective polymer for contact with a measuring liquid, the ion selective polymer disc being in contact with a wire of low drift potential relative to the ion selective polymer disc. The invention also includes an electro mechanical measuring arrangement in which the ion sensitive electrode may be used and also a reference electrode suitable for use therewith.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
A reference electrode for use with an ion selective electrode comprising: (a) an electrode body made of polytetrafluoroethylene, said body including a chamber for an electrolyte solution; and (b) a stopper, said stopper being pressed into said electrode body and having a micro notch in the side wall thereof to provide a single aperture in the body as the sole electroytic communicating means between said chamber and the outside of said body, said aperture being of a size to restrict flow of electrolyte therethrough at normal pressure and room temperature to a rate of less than 5×10 -6 micro liters per second.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
102 words
A reference electrode for use with an ion selective electrode comprising: (a) an electrode body made of polytetrafluoroethylene, said body including a chamber for an electrolyte solution; and (b) a stopper, said stopper being pressed into said electrode body and having a micro notch in the side wall thereof to provide a single aperture in the body as the sole electroytic communicating means between said chamber and the outside of said body, said aperture being of a size to restrict flow of electrolyte therethrough at normal pressure and room temperature to a rate of less than 5×10 -6 micro liters per second.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
A reference electrode in accordance with claim 1 wherein the rate of flow of the electrolyte is less than 2.6×10 -6 micro liters per second.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
An electrode in accordance with claim 1 wherein the depth of said micro notch is less than 0.1 millimeters.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
An electrode in accordance with claim 1 wherein the depth of said micro notch is less than 0.05 millimeters.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
90 words
A reference electrode for use with an ion selective electrode comprising: (a) an electrode body made of polytetrafluoroethylene, said body including a chamber for an electrolyte solution and having an opening therein; (b) a polytetrafluoroethylene plate sealed over said opening to close the same, (c) a single aperture in said plate of sufficiently small diameter to restrict the flow of the electrolyte therethrough to a rate of less than 5×10 -6 micro liters per second as the sole electrolytic communicating means between the body and the outside of the body.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
90 words
A reference electrode for use with an ion selective electrode comprising: (a) an electrode body made of polytetrafluoroethylene, said body including a chamber for an electrolyte solution and having an opening therein; (b) a polytetrafluoroethylene plate sealed over said opening to close the same, (c) a single aperture in said plate of sufficiently small diameter to restrict the flow of the electrolyte therethrough to a rate of less than 5×10 -6 micro liters per second as the sole electrolytic communicating means between the body and the outside of the body.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
18 words
An electrode in accordance with claim 5 wherein said aperture has a diameter of less than 0.01 millimeters.
