Selecting an Ion Selective Electrode (ISE) Probe

Control Confidently with YSI ISE Probes

• Find ISE probes with extended lifespans.
  Expect 18+ months of use from YSI's electrodes, and our warranty covers the first year of operation.
• Avoid ISE probes with combined sensor cartridges.
  YSI's individually user-replaceable electrodes maximize your investment.
• Look for robust probes.
  YSI's probes are built with materials like stainless steel and sensing elements are protected with metal screens to incresase durability and longevity.

Ammonium and Nitrate - VARiON, AmmoLyt, and NitraLyt sensors are rugged ion selective electrode (ISE) probes that provide continuous and reagentless monitoring. Individually user-replaceable electrodes have a typical lifetime of 18-24 months and are warrantied for 1 year.
