Preparation of the Electrode for Initial Use

1. Removetheprotectivebottleorcoverfromtheelectrodeand

thoroughlyrinsetheelectrodewithdistilledwater.Wipecarefullywith

acleanlabwipe.

2. Duringshipment,airbubblesmayhavemigratedintotheelectrode

Storing the Electrode

Short Term

Betweenmeasurements,storethepHelectrodeinabeakercontaining

pH4.0buffer.

Long Term

Whenstoringforlongerperiods,storethepHelectrodeinthestorage

bottleortheprotectivebootwhichcamewiththeelectrode.Ensurethat

thefoaminthestoragebottleorthecottonballintheprotectivebootis

totallywettedwithDlwatertokeepamoistenvironmentaroundthepH

bulbandjunction.Maintainthemoistenvironmentinthestoragebottleor

intheprotectivebootduringstorage.

Electrode Cleaning

Donotusestrongsolvents(e.g.acetone,carbontetrachloride,etc.)

tocleanthepHelectrode.Besuretorecalibratetheelectrodeafter

cleaning.

1. Iftheelectrodehasbecomecoatedwithoilorgrease,carefully

washtheelectrodeunderwarmtapwaterusingdish-washing

detergent.Rinsethoroughlywithfreshtapwaterfollowedbyarinse

withdistilledwater.SoaktheelectrodeinpHelectrodestorage

solutionfor30minutesafterthiscleaningprocedure.Recalibratethe

electrodebeforeuse.

2. Iftheelectrodehasbeenexposedtoproteinorsimilarmaterials,

soakinacidicpepsinfor5minutes.Rinsethoroughlywithdistilled

water.Recalibratebeforeuse.

3. Ifthepreviouscleaningproceduresfailtorestoreresponse,soakthe

electrodein0.1NHCIfor30minutes.Rinsethoroughlywithdistilled

water.Recalibratebeforeuse.

4. Ifelectroderesponseisnotrestored,replacetheelectrode.

Electrode Expected Service Life

1. Electrodeshaveanexpectedservicelifeincleanwatersolutions

of12-18months.Annualreplacementisrecommendedforbest

controllingandmonitoringresults.

2. Harshanddirtywaterwillshortenthelifeexpectancyofthe

electrode.

Warnings

1. Theelectrodetipmustbekeptwetatalltimes.Ifitisallowedtodry

outdamagecanoccurrequiringreplacement.

2. Iftheglasssurfaceiscrackedordamagedtheelectrodewillnotwork
