The correct storage of the ph electrode can increase its lifetime significantly.
Ph electrode storage solution kcl.
Use electrode storage solutions with ph and reference electrodes to maintain proper functioning and accurate readings.
Storing your ph electrode in storage solution rather than water is important for reducing microbial growth preventing the reference electrolyte from leaching out and keeping the junction clear.
We recommend that you store your electrode in a solution of 4 m kcl.
If 4 m kcl is not available use a ph 4 or 7 buffer solution.
If you re out of storage solution ph 4 or 7 buffers can be used in a pinch.
For electrodes filled with potassium chloride c kcl 3 mol l as reference electrolyte we have developed a dedicated storage solution which keeps the glass membrane in top quality without impairing the performance of the diaphragm.
The substances can reestablish proper working conditions after cleaning procedures or when the electrode has not been in use for an extended time period.
It is used for proper electrode storage to maintain optimal electrode performance.
Enhance the performance and extend the life of electrodes.
Potassium chloride solution also known as ph storage solution or.
When potassium chloride solution is not available revert to ph 4 or 7 buffer solution.
A ph electrode is active and stable only after wetting.
Firstly you should make sure you always keep your ph electrode moist the best solution to submerge the probe for long and short term storage is 4m potassium chloride solution kcl.
