We recommend that you store your electrode in a solution of 4 m kcl.
Ph storage solution kcl.
Apera instruments 3m kcl storage solution is made with high purity chemicals designed for conditioning and extending the service life of ph or orp electrode.
If you accidentally store the probe in purified water try storing the probe in 3m kcl storage solution for 48 hours and see if the tester can perform in a normal state.
Our bluelab kcl ph probe storage solution is available in 20ml 100ml and 250ml sizes.
Most ph electrode storage solutions are 4 m kcl with a ph about 4.
The filling solution in refillable electrodes should be filled up to but not past the refill hole.
A dry probe needs to be hydrated by placing in storage solution before calibration.
The solution you have should be fine if you can change the internal solution on a monthly basis more often if you use it continuously.
Single junction electrodes use 3 5 m kcl with silver chloride.
Make sure the refill hole is left open when measuring to ensure that the fill solution flows properly through the reference junction.
Other brands storage solutions are not recommended for use with apera s ph electrodes since they may use different formulas and could cause damage to the products.
The internal solution is also saturated with silver chloride.
Any ph 4 buffer mixture works well but use only.
Always keep your ph electrode moist.
We recommend daily use of the ph probe storage solution fresh application is recommended once per week a few drops in your probe storage cap at the end of every week should be sufficient.
Ph orp electrodes that are stored dry over time may lose the sensitivity and accuracy temporarily.
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.

Ph orp electrodes that are stored dry will lose their sensitivity and accuracy temporarily they can be restored by soaking in the kcl solution.
The ph calibration buffer is a water based solution that will.
It can be restored by soaking them in the storage solution.
This storage solution is for conditioning and extending the service life of regular ph and orp electrodes testers sensors.
Keeping ph orp electrodes stored in the storage solution when not in use is a recommended practice.
When potassium chloride solution is not available revert to ph 4 or 7 buffer solution.
All ph measurements are based on the ph calibration solution as a reference point.
