The Hanna HI 4004 and HI 4104 are ion selective electrodes designed for the measurement of calcium ions in
aqueous solutions. They utilize a replaceable sensing module that contains an organic polymer membrane that is
sensitive to calcium ions. The HI 4004 is a half-cell electrode that requires a separate reference. The HI 4104 is a
combination ion selective electrode.

The HI 4004 and HI 4104 calcium electrodes are potentiometric devices used for the rapid determination of free calcium ions in water, sea water and beverages. The electrode
functions as a sensor or ionic conductor. The HI 4004
requires a separate reference electrode to complete its electrolytic circuit. The HI 4104 is a combination electrode with
a Ag/AgCl reference electrode with gel stabilized Cl- electrolyte in it’s inner chamber. The external reference chamber
is refillable. The PVC membrane used on the sensor is
impregnated with the organic ion exchanger.
This organic ion exchanger is considered a carrier ionophore
in that it is capable of shielding and carrying the charged
calcium ion in it’s polar cage freely through the apolar
regions of the membrane. A charge imbalance developes
between the test solution and internal cell of the sensor.
This voltage changes in response to the sampleís ion activity. When the ionic strength of the sample is fixed, the
voltage is proportional to the concentration of nitrate ions in
solution. The sensor follows the Nernst Equation:
E = E
+ 2.3 RT/nF log A
