Additional Information
The NT Sensors IMACIMUS 2 combines a perchlorate ion-selective electrode (ISE) and a pH electrode for laboratory analysis of perchlorate concentration (ClO₄⁻) and pH. The complete kit includes the meter, perchlorate ISE, pH electrode, reference electrode, and calibration standards.
Analysis Software and Calibration
The included software displays real-time measurements and supports custom calibration with up to five set points to match your working range. Continuous measurement allows users to track changes during short-term reactions and process studies.
Modular Sensor Design
The perchlorate sensor can be replaced when needed or exchanged for another compatible NT Sensors ion sensor, allowing the system to accommodate different measurement requirements.
Sensor Life and Replacement
The perchlorate ISE generally has a service life exceeding 12 months. Sensor aging continues even when the electrode is not in use, whether stored or installed in a probe. Actual lifespan varies and may differ by several months between sensors operating under similar conditions.
