2.4 The connector of the electrode should be kept clean and dry. If being contaminated, please
clean it with medical cotton and absolute alcohol and blow dry to prevent the short circuit of the
electrode and slow reaction of electrode.
2.5 The electrode measuring tip should be soaked in the soaking bottle containing certain amount
of storage solution to keep the membrane hydrated and junction unblocked. Clean the bottle
and replace the storage solution if the storage solution gets turbid and mildewed. The electrode
should never be sinked in pure water or buffer solution for long.
2.6 After long time exposure in air, Polymer electrolyte will cause shrinkage. It will not happen in
measurement status. The electrode must be soaked in 3M KCl solution for storage. After long
time soaking, there will be some floccules dissolving out from 3M KCl solution, this is normal
phenomenon.
2.7 After 1-year of use, we recommend replacing the electrode for best accuracy.
