Ammonia Electrode Performance in Deuterium Oxide Solutions

Abstract
Response characteristics of the ammonia gassensing membrane electrode have been evaluated in deuterium oxide solutions. Results indicate no significant differences in electrode slope, recovery time, and standard deviation of the fit for the calibration line. Only slight differences in response times, limit of detection, baseline potential and position of the calibration line have been found. Overall, steady-state and dynamic measurements in deuterium oxide solutions are possible with this electrode.
