The sample enters the Thermo Scientific Orion 2111XP sodium analyzer and passes through
the inlet valve, bypass/needle valve, inlet filter, pressure regulator, flow meter and into the
restrictor tubing. The sample then passes through t he flow cell manifold into a reag ent bottle and
through a diffusion tubing assembly where pH adjustment takes place. The pH-adjusted sample
then flows back through the manifold into the flow cell as air is introd uced from the air pump to
ensure proper mixing and fast response. The sample then flows into an atmospheric drain via
the diverter valve.

The above equation indicates that the measured potential varies with both temperature and the
concentration of the ion of the interest. In order to eliminate error caused by fluctu ations in
sample temperature, the 2111XP microprocessor constantly updates temperature corrections
from data supplied by the ATC probe.
From the Nernst equation, the theoretical response of a sodium ion selective electrode to a
ten-fold change in concentration at 25 °C is 59.16 mV. This is referred to as the elect rode slop e
(S). Most electrodes, however, do not exhibit a theoretical slope. Therefore, the an alyzer is
calibrated to determine its actual value. Two standards ar e used to provide information
necessary for the microprocessor to compute the actual slope and E
for use during sample
0
analysis.
In order to eliminate interference from hydrogen ions, which can become significant when
measuring low levels of sodium, the 2111XP analyzer raises the samp le pH. This pH adjustment
is accomplished by the patented passive-diffusion process wherei n the sample passes through
a length of tubing contained in the reagent bottle. The reagent diffu ses through the tube wall and
mixes with the sample, which raises the sample pH.
Principles of Calibration
Calibration procedures for analytical instruments are impo rtant and must be performed carefully.
The calibration procedure used in the Thermo Scientific Orion 2111XP analyzer is a variation of
Double Known Addition (DKA) using advan ced electrode and flow cell technology in
combination with the passive diffusion system. This method has the distinct advantages of being
fast, easy, and accurate.
Double Known Addition (DKA)
Before calibration begins, the diverter valve is pushed in to divert flow from the measure drain,
allowing the flow cell to fill.
At the beginning of the DKA calibration the actual concentration in the sample is unknown. The
analyzer measures the potential (E
amount of standard 1 solution is added to the flow cell, which increases the concentration (C
with a corresponding known amount (d
) and stores this value in the microprocessor. A known
s
). During this process, air is pumped into the flow cell,
thoroughly mixing sample and standard in a closed- loop system. The new potential (E1) is
measured and stored automatically when stability is reached. Adding standard 2, preferably 10
times more concentrated than standard 1, increases the concentration (d

Figure 2: Flow Cell Volume for DKA
When the calibration is complete the flow cell drains as the sample flow returns. The flow cell
volume returns to the measurement level. After allowing approximately 30 minutes for
concentrated calibration solution to be flushed from the system, the 2111XP analyzer can begin
sample measurement again.
In addition to Double Known Addition (DKA), the 2111XP analyzer also allows the operator the
ability to perform an offline calibration.

Offline Calibration
The offline calibration feature of the 2111XP an alyzer a llo ws th e op era tor to adjust the analyzer
to values determined by alternate methods used in their lab oratory such as elemental
spectroscopy and ion chromatography.
The offline calibration is essentially a one point calibration. To perform an offline calibration, a
sample is taken from the bypass of the analyzer; the sample concentration value is stored in
memory; the sample is analyzed by an alternate method of choice; the previously stored reading
is adjusted to the lab method result; and the analyzer is then returned to the analysis mode. The
term “offline calibration” refers only to the fact that a sample from 2111XP analyzer bypass is
taken “offline” for laboratory analysis; in fact, no downtime is experienced during the procedure
and the analyzer remains online throughout.
Diverter Valve – Allows the flow cell reservoir to fill during calibration by forming a closed-loop
system.
Sodium Sensing Electrode – Senses sodium ions in sample stream and produce an e lectrical
potential dependent on sample concentration.
Reference Electrode – Provides a constant reference potential and completes the
measurement circuit.
Reference Electrode Filling Solution Bottle – Provides constant flow of electrolyte solution
through reference electrode for maximum stability.
ATC Probe – Measures sample temperature and inputs data to microprocessor for automatic
temperature compensation (ATC).

Calibration Port – Allows introduction of standards to the sample reservoir during calibration.
LCD Display – Provides digital readouts of concentration, temperature, millivolts and error
codes.
Air Pump – Used to mix the sample during both measurement and calibration.
Keypad – Consists of five mode keys, four prompt indicator lights, two scroll keys and one key
for entering data. Mode and error indicators are also incorporated on the keypad.
Status Indicator – Two LED lights that illuminate according to current status of the analyzer.
Green Light:Indicates that system is in correct working condition.
Yellow Light:Indicates a warning, system in hold or that maintenance is required.
Red Light:Indicates that something is seriously wrong.
Note: When either the yellow or red LED is lit, there may be an entry in the diagnostics mode
that indicates the error. The logging feature must be initiated in the setup mode. Refer to
Section 3, Use of the Setup Mode for instructions.
Two Channel Analyzer Configurations
A pH/ORP module or conductivity module can be added by the operator to the second channel
of the Thermo Scientific Orion 2111XP sodium analyzer for the ultimate flexibility in
measurement capabilities. The 2100 series pH/ORP and conduc tivity an alyzers provide
accurate and reliable measurements in ultra pure water as well as the harshest industrial
environments. Combined with decades of superior Thermo Scientific Orion sensor technology,
our systems provide rapid results with complete stability.

WARNING: The diisopropylamine (DIPA) reagent is hazardous. Use pro tective glasses and
gloves. Refer to the bottle label for precautions and work in a well-ventilated area. Installation of
DIPA reagent requires a fume hood or well-ventilated area.
Recommendations
If the analyzer is offline or the sample flow is shut off from t he analyzer fo r a prolonge d period of
time, follow the steps in Section 3, Shutdown and Start-Up Procedure.
1.Unscrew the thumb nut and remove the reagent bottle from the reagent manifold.
New analyzers will ship with a rubber coated glass reagent bottle and compl ete diffusion
tubing assembly installed. Only installation of the reagent is necessary for first time
start-up.
2.Twist open the reagent bottle, separating the glass bottle, reagent bottle adapter assembly
and plastic cap to the reagent bottle.
DIPA Diffusion Tubing Assembly
Designed to maximize uptime, our new diffusion tubing assembly can be replaced in a matter of
seconds. Our method of snap and connect tubing installation combined with the easy pull off
and dispose technique will have your system back online faster than ever before. The newly
designed mechanism is precisely engineered to remain conn ected under variable temperature
conditions and pressure fluctuations. The new style diffusion tubing assemb ly is now suspended
in the headspace of the reagent bottle, which decreases the rate o f consumption of reagent and
saves you time and money.
The diffusion tubing ships fully assembled for quick and easy installation.
Do not use Teflon tape during installation.
Twisting of the clear silicone tubing will compromise tubing integrity and may cause
ruptures. Be careful to avoid kinks and twisting during installation.
Note: The diffusion tube assembly mounts directly to the reagent bottle adapter fittings
(2100RF). The reagent bottle adapter fittings are dedicated t o the reagent bottle adapter an d do
not require change out when installing new diffusion tubing. Be sure to hand tighten these
connectors monthly.
