Abstract:
A rapid electrometric method for determining endogenous and added CO2 in fish products was studied using an Orion CO2 probe and Orion ionalyzer model #801. Analytical results were compared to those using the standard Warburg manometric technique. Comparisons showed a ± 20.8% mean difference for low concentrations of CO2 (<350 ppm) and a ± 10.7% mean difference for high concentrations of CO2 (>800 ppm). The probe technique was found to be easier to use and required less time for operating and cleanup procedures than the manometric method. Based on recovery studies, the specific ion probe was more accurate at all levels of CO2 evaluated than the manometric device.

Electrodes: Overview
There are two main types of electrodes in electrochemical cells. The first type, known as the working or indicator electrode, has a potential that is sensitive to the analyte's concentration and reacts to changes in...

Potentiometry: Types of Electrodes
The Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE) is a widely used reference electrode that maintains zero potential across all temperatures. However, its need for a continuous hydrogen gas supply renders it impractical for everyday use.
An alternative to SHE is the Saturated Calomel Electrode (SCE). This electrode features an...
