    soaked in clean water at room temperature for 24 hours. If the water temperature is low, soaking time should be 48-72 hours. (D) The sponge can not be allowed to get stained or moldy, otherwise it will consume or produce oxygen. If stained or moldy, please replace it immediately (some back-up sponges are included in the kit).

    these steps: (A) Preparation of 100ml of oxygen-free water: in the 100ml beaker, weigh 2g of anhydrous sodium sulfite (Na ) and add 100ml of distilled or deionized water to dissolve. Oxygen-free water is only effective within 1 hour. (B) Put the electrode into the oxygen-free water, wait for 3 to 5 minutes after the instrument is turned on, and wait for the temperature and DO reading to completely stabilize.
