Calibrating The Ises; Storing The Reference Electrode - Siemens ADVIA 1800 Operator's Manual

IMPORTANT
If clogging occurs, the most probable cause is that the flow path is clogged inside the
electrode. Remove the Na and K electrodes, and check them by transmitted light to
see whether the flow path is clogged or not. You cannot do this for the Cl electrode
because of its construction. When in doubt, even if you cannot find a problem, try
replacing the electrode.
7. Mount the stainless steel cover on the top of the ISE unit by sliding it inside and
fasten the screw retaining the cover.
NOTE:
fastening the screw, verify that the cover is not caught in the groove and is not loose.
8. Reinstall the cover and tighten the screws.
9. Replace the DPP shield and secure it in place with the Phillips screw.

Storing the reference electrode

1. Remove the reference electrode from the ISE module.
2. Rinse the electrode with deionized water.
3. Place it into an appropriate container.
4. Cover the reference electrode with reference electrode filling solution.
5. Cover the container and store at 0° - 40°C (32° - 104°F).
6. When ready to use, rinse the electrode with deionized water.
NOTE:
