7.4 Probe cleaning

7.4.1 ISFET non-glass probe cleaning and reconditioning

7.4.1.1

Cleaning the ISFET non-glass probes

1.

Regularly clean the ISFET probe with detergent (a few drops of dish detergent 

in a cup of warm water). 

2.

Rinse well with deionized water.

N O T I C E

Do not use metal objects such as pins or paperclips to clean the sensor. The sensor can be 

permanently damaged with aggressive abrasion of the sensor surface.

N O T I C E

Do not use acetone, toluene, or other strong organic solvents on ISFET probes.
