Electrode Care and Maintenance

Electrode Care and Maintenance
For best results, always keep the pH electrode bulb wet. Store the pH bulb with
electrode storage solution. Electrode storage solution is available as part of the
Palintest Electrode Care Pack (see Accessories Section). If electrode storage
solution is not available, use tap water or buffer solution.
NEVER use deionised water for storage.
Wash the probes thoroughly with tap or deionised water after each use.
Your pH electrode is susceptible to contamination or dirt and, therefore, requires
cleaning every one to three months depending on extent and condition of use.
Clean the electrode in a mild detergent solution. Wipe the probe with a soft
tissue paper. Avoid touching the glass membrane with your fingers. Wash
thoroughly in tap water and then in deionised water. Recalibrate the meter
after cleaning the electrode.
