- | When the electrode has a refillable reference chamber, make sure this chamber is always completely filled with the reference electrolyte solution (3…4 M KCl, article code B520 or B020). An electrode that has been stored dry must be immersed for at least ten hours in the reference electrolyte solution. During short interruptions (e.g. storage) the electrode should be immersed in the electrolyte solution. In doing this it is always kept ready for use. When the interruption is longer than a month, use a storage bottle filled with the reference electrolyte solution and place it on the electrode tip in order to protect the glass bulb. | + | When the electrode has a refillable reference chamber, make sure this chamber is always completely filled with the reference electrolyte solution (3…4 M KCl, article code B520 or B020).
