A weekly webinar from ZP answering technical questions from the week.
Welcome to this video on phosphate sensors. We offer free technical support, and today we’re addressing an issue with sensor readings. When ZP manufactures sensors, we conduct outgoing quality control to ensure performance. Comparing data from past batches, our phosphate sensors show expected signal patterns. However, one user reported extreme voltages—far beyond what the sensor materials can generate. This suggests an issue with the experimental setup, possibly faulty connectors or instrumentation. Before troubleshooting the sensor chemistry, the electrical setup must be examined. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out.
Welcome to this quick video on flow cells and electrodes. Today, we’re discussing sputtered electrodes and their use within a flow cell, particularly for air-sensitive materials. A flow cell helps exclude oxygen, making it a great option for delicate chemistry. To use one effectively, electrode dimensions must align with the flow cell. This system allows solution flow via inlet/outlet pumps, ensuring a controlled environment. Proper engineering is key for a seamless fit. If you have questions about screen-printed electrodes or flow cells, don’t hesitate to reach out.
Can you reuse our sensors? Absolutely! Our sodium sensors can be tested multiple times—whether at 40mm, 80mm, or 160mm of sodium. If handled properly, they can be set aside and used again. However, proper cleaning is key; leaving milk or blood residue can cause contamination. We recommend our rinse solution to keep sensors in optimal condition. To get started, you’ll need our test solutions, rinse solutions, sodium sensors, and electronics for compatibility. Links and buttons are provided below for easy access. If you have technical questions, reach out—we’re happy to create support videos.
