Proper Electrode Cleaning and Storage for Accurate pH and EC Measurements
Regular maintenance of your meter electrodes is essential to ensure accuracy, precision, and long-term performance. To achieve reliable results, electrodes should be cleaned and stored correctly using appropriate solutions.
Recommended Electrode Cleaning Practice
It is strongly recommended to clean electrodes regularly using HY-GEN Probe Cleaner Solution. Cleaning should always be performed:
-
Before calibrating the meter
-
Before long-term storage
-
Whenever measurement response becomes slow or inconsistent
Proper cleaning removes surface contaminants and ensures the electrode is functioning at optimal sensitivity once calibrated.
Importance of Proper Electrode Storage
When not in use, pH electrodes must always be stored in HY-GEN pH Electrode Storage Solution. Storing electrodes correctly prevents dehydration of the sensing glass and maintains electrode stability, which is critical for accurate pH measurement.
Never store pH electrodes dry or in distilled water, as this can significantly reduce their lifespan and performance.
Why Electrode Cleaning Is Essential
Over time, organic and inorganic contaminants can build up on electrode surfaces. These deposits may coat or clog the electrode, leading to:
-
Slow response times
-
Inaccurate readings
-
Reduced measurement stability
Regular cleaning with HY-GEN Probe Cleaner Solution helps restore proper electrode function, prolongs the life of the meter, and maximizes measurement reliability.
Multi-Purpose Use for Conductivity Electrodes
In addition to pH electrodes, HY-GEN Probe Cleaner Solution can also be used to clean conductivity (EC) meter electrodes. Removing contaminants from EC probes improves responsiveness and measurement accuracy, making this solution a cost-effective and versatile maintenance product.
Key Benefits of Using HY-GEN Probe Cleaner Solution
-
Improves accuracy and response time
-
Extends electrode lifespan
-
Prevents contamination buildup
-
Suitable for both pH and conductivity electrodes
-
Ensures consistent and reliable meter performance
