A method has been developed for the continuous monitoring of oxygen tension in solutions and gases. The oxygen is reduced at a platinum surface which is covered with a plastic membrane. The silver‐silver oxide reference electrode is also included under the membrane. Drift is less than 10 per cent for a period of days, and temperature compensation is possible. A number of uses to which it has been put are described.
