    4 LIQUID HANDLING SECTION 4.1 Principle of Operation – Fig. 4.1 The monitor uses an ABB Ammonia Probe. This contains a glass pH electrode, whose pH-sensitive glass membrane forms a slightly convex tip, and a robust, long-life reference electrode. The two electrodes are combined into a single assembly, and are connected as a pH measuring pair through an internal reservoir of filling solution containing ammonium ions.
