Rinse and blot-dry (don't wipe) electrodes
between each measurement. Rinse electrodes
with distilled or deionized water, or a portion of
the next solution to be measured.
pH and ION SPECIFIC ELECTRODES
4
Between measurements, store conventional pH
electrodes in electrode storage solution, pH 4
buffer, or KCl solution. Always leave the filling
hole of liquid filled combination electrodes
open. Refill when the level of solution gets
below the manufacturer's recommended level.
Store ion specific electrodes according to
electrode manufacturer's recommendations.
Getting Started
Proper electrode care is
fundamental to obtaining
reliable pH measurements.
Improper care of the
electrode may cause the
meter reading to drift,
respond slowly, or
produce erroneous
readings. For this reason,
the electrode should
always be conditioned
and used in accordance
with manufacturer's
instructions.
