Flow-Injection Analysis of Chloride in Milk with a Dialyzer and a Coated Tubular Inorganic Chloride-Selective Electrode

Abstract A rapid and reliable automated procedure for the direct measurement of the chloride content in milk is described. The method is based on the principles of the flow-injection technique; a dialyzer is used to eliminate interferences and the dialyzed chloride is measured with a coated tubular chloride-selective electrode. With this system potential change caused by the interference of casein is obviated, giving a stable baseline. Results obtained for chloride in milk at a sampling rate of 120 samples per hour compared well with data obtained by the standard Volhard titration method. With 30-μl samples a working range of 250–5000 mg/1 chloride is covered with a coefficient of variation of better than 0.50%.
