Saint Lucia storage solution for ph and orp electrodes

How do I extend the life of my PH and ORP sensors?

Extend the life of your pH and ORP sensors by using the Sensorex pH electrode storage solution. When the sensor is not in use, place the sensor glass measurement area into the storage solution. The pH electrode storage solutions are supplied in pints (473 ml).

How should ORP electrodes be stored?

Upon storage, the electrode should be stored wet in a storage solution or pH 4 buffer and rinsed periodically. ORP electrodes should not be stored in distilled or deionized water. The video below explains the two-point check system for calibrating an ORP electrode.

How do I Clean my PH or ORP electrode?

To clean your pH or ORP electrode use MA9016 Cleaning Solution in conjunction with MA9015 Storage Solution. In general, and depending on the frequency of use and the type of application, soak your pH or ORP electrode once per week in MA9016 Cleaning Solution for about 15 minutes.

How do ORP electrodes measure oxidation-reduction potential?

The ORP electrodes measure the voltage across a circuit formed by the two electrodes and the measurement can be made using the millivolt mode of a pH meter. The single voltage is called the oxidation-reduction potential, where a positive voltage shows a solution attracting electrons (oxidizing agent).

Why should I store my pH electrode in a solution?

Properly storing your pH electrode in a solution keeps the glass membrane well hydrated which maintains proper function and provides accurate readings. Special formulation to minimize bacterial growth on your electrode. Clearly marked expiration date and lot number for traceability. Designed for storing any pH or ORP electrode.

What are the performance specifications of oxygen reduction potential (ORP) electrodes?

With oxygen reduction potential (ORP) electrodes then, there are three main performance specifications: ORP/redox range - The ORP / redox range the instrument is capable of measuring. As seen in the chart below, reactions produce a positive or negative ORP depending on the type and quality of the reaction occurring.
