Section 1 Product overview
The Intellical ISENH4181 series probes are digital, combination ion-selective electrodes (ISE) that
measure the concentration of ammonium in water samples. The Ammonium Ionic Strength Adjuster
(ISA) does not adjust the pH of the sample. Thus, the probes measure the ammonium ion (NH
4
+
) but
not unionized ammonia (NH
3
). The probes have a built-in temperature sensor, a non-refillable gel
reference and non-replaceable membranes. Refer to Figure 1.
