B. If the electrode’s glass ball has been damaged by a solution or the
liquid junction has been blocked by a solution, the pH electrode will
become less sensitive, function slowly, or give incorrect pH readings.
a. If the glass ball has developed solution deposits: Soak the
electrode in a solution of 0.1 ml/L hydrochloric acid dilute for
24 hours (to make: top off the 9 ml of Acid Hydrochloric Dilute
with pure water to 1000 ml); wash the electrode with distilled
water; then soak the electrode in the protective solution for 24
hours. If the electrode has more serious deposits: Soak the
electrode in 4% HF (hydrofluoric acid) for 3 to 4 minutes; wash
the electrode with distilled water; then soak the electrode in
the protective solution for 24 hours.
b. To clean the electrode glass ball and liquid junction:
A. 201-C# pH electrode (plastic shell + 1 meter of wire).
B. Calibration buffer solutions (pH4.00, pH7.00, and pH10.01 types).
Size: 50ml/bottle; 250ml/bottle; and 500ml/bottle.
