Membrane Cap Assembly - Filling and Replacement

The electrode is shipped dry and requires filling with the supplied electrolyte 

solution before the first use. The membrane should be in place and does not 

need to be replaced. 

Important Note

: Do not touch the membrane as skin oils 

will interfere with the oxygen permeability rate of the membrane. 
1. The electrode should remain attached to the meter during the process.
2. Carefully remove the membrane cap assembly from the electrode by firmly 

unscrewing it in a counter-clockwise direction. 

3. Discard the used membrane cap assembly. NOTE: When a membrane 

cap is installed the membrane must tightly stretch over the cathode. If a 

membrane cap is removed, it can not be reinstalled because the membrane 

will no longer stretch properly over the cathode.

4. Rinse the cathode and anode with deionized water.
5. Set the membrane cap assembly on a flat surface. 
6. Fill the membrane cap 

assembly with Electrolyte 

Solution (DO600-EL) to the 

bottom of the threads on the 

inside of the cap. To remove air 

bubbles hold the cap steady 

with one hand and tap the side 

of the assembly sharply with 

a pen. 

7. Do not move the membrane 

cap assembly. Dip the 

electrode into the assembly 

and remove it. Repeat this 

step several times. With each 

dip, progressively push the 

electrode deeper into the electrode solution in the assembly. This dipping 

technique will minimize the introduction of air bubbles into the electrolyte 

solution. Air bubbles can compromise dissolved oxygen measurements. 

8. Carefully pick up the membrane cap assembly and slowly screw it onto the 

electrode in a counter-clockwise direction until it is fully tightened. While 

tightening the cap, excess electrolyte solution will leak out. This is normal
