3.3 Cleaning tips
To avoid scratches on the sensor surface rinse the probe thoroughly using water before cleaning
the probe with the soft brush supplied with the meter and tap water with a mild detergent
added.
Most scratches on the sensor are caused when there are hard particles in the sample and the
sample is rubbed into the sensor when cleaning with the toothbrush.
Proteins, fats and oils may be removed by scrubbing in a solution of Terg-A-Zyme (Alconox
company), a pepsin solution or a similar product. Afterwards, rinse thoroughly with deionized
or distilled water. Cleaning agents are available at Sentron, ask your local dealer.
Do not use hydrofluoric acid, acetone, MEK or similar agents to clean the probe.

Storage
For short time periods (≤ 2 Days) probes can be stored best “wet” in e.g. a beaker with pH7. Clean the
probe first with water and possibly a mild detergent. Then place it in a clean container with fresh pH7
buffer to prevent pollution of the probe directly after cleaning.
For longer time periods (>2 days) the probe can be stored “dry” in e.g. the shipping box. As well as with
short term storage, clean the probe first. Then place the protective cap on the probe tip, containing
one drop of demi-water preventing a dry out of the diaphragm.
Always revitalize the probe (see section 3.2) before using it again after a long term storage.
