Maintenance and storage of electrodes
This section describes an overview of the procedures for maintenance and storage of pH, ORP
and conductivity electrodes.

How to clean the electrodes
Always clean the electrode with deionized water after every measurement. When the response
is slow or residue from the sample adheres to the electrode, use the appropriate method below
to clean the electrode, and then clean again with deionized water.
For pH electrode
For ORP electrode
For conductivity electrode
Type of dirt
Cleaning solution
General
Diluted neutral cleaning solution
Oil
Alcohol, or diluted neutral cleaning solution
Inorganic substance
1 mol/L HCl or electrode cleaning solution
Protein
Cleaning solution including protein-removing enzyme
Alkali
Dip in 1 mol/L HCl or electrode cleaning solution for 1h to 2 h
Type of dirt
Cleaning solution

Scale that formed during
long term storage
A commercially available scale remover or dilute neutral
cleaning solution. If this does not remove the scale, use diluted
solution that contains oxygen bleach (sodium percarbonate) or
chlorine bleach (sodium hypochlorite).
