HORIBA KCL Storage Solutions – Optimal Care for pH Electrodes

The long-term performance of pH electrodes is highly dependent on proper care and storage. HORIBA offers specially developed KCL storage solutions that significantly support the lifespan and measurement accuracy of your pH electrodes.

Why are KCL storage solutions important?

  • Prevents Drying Out: A dry electrode leads to inaccurate readings. The KCL solution keeps the electrode hydrated and functional.
  • Prevents KCl Crystallization: Regular use of KCL solution prevents the formation of KCl crystals, which could block the reference connection.
  • Longer Lifespan: With proper storage, the electrode remains operational for a longer period, providing reliable results.

Application Guidelines

  • Short-term Storage: Between measurements, the electrode can be immersed in pH 7.00 buffer solution or clean water.
  • Long-term Storage: For extended breaks, the electrode should be stored in a KCL storage solution to maintain hydration.
  • Avoiding KCl Crystallization: If KCl crystals form on the electrode, gently rinse with clean water.
