Storage
When storing the instrument, the pH electrode should be kept moist in a solution of 3M KCl
(approximately 22 grams of KCl dissolved in water to make 100 ml of solution). It is advisable to
buffer this solution to bring it to approximately pH 5 or 6. A small amount of this solution is best
put in the small pH sensor cap
The sensor section of the probe should be stored in the storage canister which clamps onto the
probe providing a waterproof seal. To maintain enough moisture add 2 ‐ 5mL of water to keep the
sensors from drying out.
