Electrode Preparation for Sure-Flow

®

 Models 

1.   Remove the protective shipping cap from the sensing 

element and save the cap for storage.

2.   Clean any salt deposits from the exterior of the electrode by 

rinsing with distilled water.

3.   Uncover the filling hole by removing the tape and then add 

electrode filling solution, Cat. No. 900011, to the electrode.  
To maintain an adequate flow rate, the level of filling 
solution must always be above the reference junction and 
at least one inch above the sample level.  The filling hole 
should be open whenever the electrode is in use.

4.   Wet the junction by pressing down on the electrode cap 

to let a few drops of the filling solution flow out of the 
electrode and then replenish any lost solution.  

5.   Shake the electrode downward (similar to a clinical 

thermometer) to remove air bubbles.  

6.   Soak electrode in pH electrode storage solution, Cat. No. 

910001, for 30 to 60 minutes.  

7.   Connect the electrode to the meter.
