  • Page 14: Cleaning Ph Electrode

    6.7 Cleaning pH Electrode 1) The measurement is only as accurate as the electrode is clean. Always thoroughly rinse off the electrode before and after each test with pure water. 2) For tough contaminants, soak the electrode in Apera electrode cleaning solution (AI1166) for at least minutes.
  • Page 15: Notes About Ph

    6.9 Notes about pH 1) Never store pH electrode in pure water as it will damage the electrode. Always store the electrode in 3M KCL soaking solution (AI1107). 2) If you find any air bubble in the glass bulb of the pH sensor, simply shake the probe with force for a few times to remove it.
