  • Page 39: Storage/Care Of Electrodes

    STORAGE/CARE OF ELECTRODES 1. pH Electrode :- For fast response of the pH electrode during sample measurements, the electrode is to be soaked in a slightly acidic solution. Also pH electrodes should always be stored in a moist condition, in either a 7.00 pH buffer saturated with KCL or 3M KCL solution between routine measurements.
  • Page 40 * Replace / Reactivate the electrode with a new one, if the deviation is more than 0.3 pH for a 4.00 pH or 9.00 / 10.00 pH buffer before calibration. 2. For Conductivity Measurement :- * Keep the conductivity probe clean and dry. Rinse the probe 2~3 times to remove the carry over, and gently swirl it while you take readings.

  • Page 43 This procedure is recommended for precise measurement. 1. Choose two buffers which bracket the expected sample pH. The first should be pH 7 and the second near the expected sample pH (e.g. pH 4 or 10). 2. Ensure that buffers are at room temperature. If samples are at varying temperatures, temperature compensation is recommended (see meter instruction manual).
