pH Electrode Storage Solution
The pH Electrode Storage Solution is an essential maintenance product designed to preserve the accuracy, responsiveness, and longevity of pH sensors and probes. Proper storage of pH electrodes is critical to ensuring reliable performance, especially in demanding environments such as aquaculture, aquaponics, and laboratory water quality monitoring.
pH electrodes are sensitive instruments that rely on a hydrated glass membrane and a stable reference junction to function correctly. When not in use, these components can dry out or become contaminated, leading to sluggish response times, inaccurate readings, or even permanent damage. The pH Electrode Storage Solution provides the optimal chemical environment to keep the electrode’s sensing surface and reference system in ideal condition between uses.
This solution is specifically formulated to maintain the hydration layer on the glass membrane, which is essential for accurate pH measurement. Unlike distilled or deionised water—which can leach ions from the electrode and degrade its performance—this storage solution contains a carefully balanced concentration of potassium chloride (KCl) and other stabilising agents. It prevents the reference junction from clogging and helps maintain the internal electrolyte balance, ensuring the electrode remains ready for immediate and accurate use.
Fresh by Design offers this solution in convenient bottle sizes to suit both field and laboratory applications. Whether you are storing a single handheld probe or managing multiple sensors in a commercial aquaculture facility, this product provides a reliable and cost-effective way to protect your investment in pH monitoring equipment.
Ideal for use with most standard pH electrodes, this storage solution is compatible with a wide range of brands and models. It is easy to use—simply fill the electrode’s protective cap or storage chamber with the solution and ensure the sensing tip is fully immersed.
