MI455 Mini Titrator for Wine Analysis
Storage Procedure
To minimize clogging and assure a quick response time, the glass bulb and the junction
of the electrode should be kept moist and not allowed to dry out.
Replace the solution in the protective cap with a few drops of
MA9015
Storage Solution
or, in its absence, Filling Solution (
MA9011
). Follow the Preparation Procedure before
taking measurements.
Note:
Never store the electrode in distilled or deionized water.
Periodic Maintenance
Inspect the electrode and the cable. The cable used for connection to the instrument
must be intact and there must be no points of broken insulation on the cable or cracks on
the electrode stem or bulb. Connectors must be perfectly clean and dry. If any scratches
or cracks are present, replace the electrode. Rinse off any salt deposits with water.
