For electrodes filled with potassium chloride c kcl 3 mol l as reference electrolyte we have developed a dedicated storage solution which keeps the glass membrane in top quality without impairing the performance of the diaphragm.
Ph electrode storage solution kcl.
Potassium chloride solution also known as ph storage solution or.
Do not store electrode in distilled or deionized water this will cause ions to leach out of the glass bulb and render your electrode useless.
If you re out of storage solution ph 4 or 7 buffers can be used in a pinch.
If 4 m kcl is not available use a ph 4 or 7 buffer solution.
It is used for proper electrode storage to maintain optimal electrode performance.
When potassium chloride solution is not available revert to ph 4 or 7 buffer solution.
Storing your ph electrode in storage solution rather than water is important for reducing microbial growth preventing the reference electrolyte from leaching out and keeping the junction clear.
Enhance the performance and extend the life of electrodes.
Always keep your ph electrode moist.
The correct storage of the ph electrode can increase its lifetime significantly.
Use electrode storage solutions with ph and reference electrodes to maintain proper functioning and accurate readings.
We recommend that you store your electrode in a solution of 4 m kcl.
A ph electrode is active and stable only after wetting.
