Maintenance and storage

                                                                     37

 

 Daily storage of the electrodes

If the electrode becomes dry, the response will be slow. Store in a moist atmosphere. Follow 
the steps below to properly store the electrode:

12. Wash the electrode well with pure water (or deionized water) to remove sample            

completely, and close the internal solution filler port.

13. Wash the inside of the protective cap with pure water (or deionized water), then add 

enough pure water (or deionized water) to soak the sponge.

14. Attach the protective cap.

When the electrode will not be used for a long period, store it by following the electrode storage 
procedure detailed above.
