CLEANING PROCEDURE
• General Soak in HI 7061
general cleaning solution for
approximately 1 hour.
Removal of films, dirt or deposits on the membrane/junction:
• Protein Soak in Hanna HI 7073
protein cleaning solution
for 15 minutes.
• Inorganic Soak in Hanna HI 7074
inorganic cleaning solution
for 15 minutes.
• Oil/grease Rinse with Hanna HI 7077
oil & fat cleaning solution.
IMPORTANT: After performing any of the cleaning procedures, rinse
the electrode thoroughly with distilled water, drain and refill the
reference chamber with fresh electrolyte, (not necessary for gel-filled
electrodes) and soak the electrode in HI 70300
storage solution for at
least 1 hour before taking measurements.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Evaluate your electrode performance based on the following:
••
••
• Noise
(readings fluctuate up and down) could be due to:
--
--
- Clogged/Dirty Junction:
refer to the above "Cleaning Procedure"
--
--
- Loss of shielding due to low electrolyte level (in refillable
electrodes only): refill with HI 7071
solution for single junction
or HI 7082
for double junction electrodes
••
••
• Dry Membrane/Junction: soak in HI 70300
storage solution for
at least 1 hour
••
••
• Drifting: soak the electrode tip in warm HI 7082
solution for one
hour and rinse the tip with distilled water; refill with fresh electrolyte
(HI 7071
for single junction and HI 7082
for double junction
electrodes)
••
••
• Low Slope: refer to the above "Cleaning Procedure"
••
••
• No Slope:
check the electrode for cracks in glass stem or bulb
(replace the electrode if cracks are found)
••
••
• Slow Response/Excessive Drift:
soak the tip in HI 7061
solution
for 30 minutes, rinse thoroughly in distilled water and then follow
the above "Cleaning Procedure"
••
••
• For ORP Electrodes: polish the metal tip with a light abrasive
paper (pay attention not to scratch the surface) and rinse
thoroughly with water.
