Ion meter
An ion meter is a device used in laboratories and industries to measure the concentration of ions in a solution, by using ion electrodes (ISE) thanks to its electrochemical activity. An ion selective electrode (ISE) is a kind of sensor that allows ion testing in various types of samples. The process that these electrodes work with is ion exchange, which measures the potential difference that is produced by the contact of the electrode with the ion being determined.
These innovative equipment currently have many utilities, but it is used more frequently to measure and control water purity. Because pure water is required for many laboratory and clinical procedures. Moreover, that drinking water for consumption, should be as optimal as possible to avoid diseases and health conditions of people.
Types of Laboratory Ion Meter a Laboratory May Need
Portable
As mentioned above the measurement of the ion concentration or the measurements of specific ions through an ion meter can be performed on a wide variety of samples such as: water, food, beverages, pharmaceuticals and also samples of biological origin.
An ion meter works by selective ion electrodes (ISEs) which are measuring devices with a sensitive membrane capable of measuring ion activity. These devices measure the concentration of ion determined in a solution using a sensor electrode and a reference electrode. They work through ion exchange, where the difference in potential that is generated when the electrode comes in contact with the ion being studied is measured. The specific ion activity is transformed into electrical potential at the moment it comes into contact with the active membrane of the selective ion electrode.

Ion meter in operation
An ion meter is an electrochemical analytical device that is used to measure ion concentration in a solution. It is used with several ion electrodes (ISE).
An ion is an atom or a group of atoms with electric charge. This charged particle can be positive or negative. A cation is an ion with positive charge and an anion is one with a negative charge (atom or molecule). The ions are formed when a neutral (electrically neutral) atom loses or gains electrons. The anions have more electrons than protons and cations have a higher proton number.
Measuring the concentration of ions or measurements of specific ions through an ion meter can be performed in a wide variety of samples such as water, food, beverages, pharmaceutical products and samples of biological origin.
