The resistance of glass electrodes partially depends on the temperature. The lower the temperature, the higher the resistance. It takes more time for the reading to stabilize if the resistance is higher. In addition, the response time will suffer to a greater degree at temperatures below 25 °C (77 °F). Since the resistance of the pH electrode is in the range of 50 –...

*Not present in gel electrodes. PREPARATION PROCEDURE Remove the electrode protective cap. DO NOT BE ALARMED IF ANY SALT DEPOSITS ARE PRESENT. This is normal with electrodes and they will disappear when rinsed with water. During transport tiny bubbles of air may have formed inside the glass bulb. The electrode cannot function properly under these conditions.
Page 57
For faster response, unscrew the fill hole screw during measurements. For AmpHel® electrodes: If the electrode does not respond to pH changes, the battery run down and the electrode should be replaced. MEASUREMENT Rinse the pH electrode tip with distilled water. Immerse the tip (bottom 4 cm /1½” ensuring the reference junction is submerged) in the sample and stir gently for a few seconds.
Page 58
IMPORTANT: After performing any of the cleaning procedures, rinse the electrode thoroughly with distilled water, refill the reference chamber with fresh electrolyte (not necessary for gel‑filled elec‑ trodes) and soak the electrode in HI70300 HI80300 Storage Solution for at least 1 hour before taking measurements.
