pH Electrode Storage Solution 500ml
pH Electrode Storage Solution (500ml) is a specially formulated, typically 3M-4M KCl (potassium chloride) liquid designed to maintain the hydration, cleanliness, and accuracy of pH and ORP electrodes. It is essential for extending electrode lifespan, preventing reference junction clogging, and ensuring fast, stable, and accurate readings when the sensor is not in use.
Key Uses and Functions
Proper Storage: Keeps the glass membrane and reference junction hydrated. A dry electrode becomes slow, inaccurate, and eventually useless.
Preventing Damage: Specifically formulated to stop microbial growth and minimize osmotic/diffusion effects between the inner electrode and the outside environment.
Rehydration: Used to rehydrate electrodes after cleaning (e.g., in Hanna cleaning solutions) or after they have dried out, typically by soaking for at least 15 minutes to an hour.
Optimal Performance: Ensures that the electrode is always in “ready-to-measure” condition, reducing the need for extensive recalibration.
Preventing Electrode Fouling: The solution helps maintain a clean junction, which is vital for quick response times.
Application Methods
Protective Cap: Fill the electrode’s plastic protective cap with the solution and store it upright.
Storage Vessel: Place the electrode in a small, clean glass or beaker filled with the solution.
Crucial Advice
Never use distilled or deionized water for storing pH electrodes, as this will shorten their life by leeching ions.
If you run out of specialized storage solution, it is better to use a pH 4.01 or 7.01 buffer solution temporarily, but not for long-term storage.
The 500ml size is ideal for laboratories or high-volume users in industries like aquaculture, water treatment, and food/beverage.
