Best electrode care for great results
Keep the electrode hydrated
Why – Drying out the electrode leads to drifting pH values, slow response times, and incorrect measurements.
Fix – “Revive” a dry electrode by submerging the bulb and junction in pH storage solution for at least one hour.
Rinse, do not wipe your electrode
Why – wiping the pH glass can produce a static charge which interferes with the pH reading of the electrode.
Fix – Simply rinse the electrode with distilled or deionised water (DI). Blot (do not rub) with a lint-free paper towel to remove excess water.
Store your electrode in storage solution
Why – Storing in deionised water (DI) causes ions to leach from the glass membrane and reference electrolyte resulting in a slow and sluggish response.
Fix – Store your electrode in storage solution.
Clean your electrode regularly
Why – Deposits can form on the electrode during use, coating the sensing glass. This can lead to erroneous calibrations and readings.
Fix – Clean the electrode using a specially formulated cleaning solution for pH electrodes – ideally one that’s developed for your application.
Calibrate often
Why – All pH electrodes need to be calibrated often for best accuracy.
Fix – The frequency of calibration depends on how accurate you want to be – daily calibration is ideal.
Pick the right electrode for your sample
Why – General purpose electrodes are functional for a wide variety of applications but not ideal for all samples.
Fix – Based on your sample you may require an electrode designed for food, high-low temp, non-aqueous, or other types of samples.
Open or loosen the fill hole cap
Why – A closed electrode fill hole may lead to slower stabilisation times.
Fix – Loosen or remove the fill hole cap. Remember to put it back when storing the electrode. (Not applicable for non-refillable electrodes).
Keep the electrolyte level full
Why – Electrolyte flows out from the reference junction over time. Low electrolyte levels may cause erratic readings. (not applicable for non-refillable electrodes).
Fix – Ensure that your electrode fill solution level is no less than one-half inch from the fill hole cap.
Properly submerge your electrode
Why – Both the pH sensing glass and reference junction need to be completely immersed in order to function properly.
Fix - Add enough sample to submerge both the junction and sensing glass.
Inspect your electrode
Why – over time, the sensing portion of the glass becomes less responsive and will eventually fail. Damage from use is also possible. This will cause erroneous readings.
Fix – Check your electrode for damage and perform a slope and offset calculation.
