| The electrode response to the ion of interest is measured as a change in electrical potential versus a reference electrode. |
| The method generally includes drawing refill electrolyte from a refill bottle and pumping the refill electrolyte to the reference electrode. |
| At one electrode, the anode, molecules of hydrogen gas break down into electrons and positively charged hydrogen ions. |
| A small chamber enclosed in a water jacket was attached to the disc electrode. |
| The electrode will be calibrated by the blood gas technician and recalibrated every eight hours. |
| The company said it would also market one of its current electrode systems without a positioner. |
