Why Clean pH & ORP Electrodes?Your pH and ORP measurement accuracy and speed depend on clean sensing surfaces and free-flowing junctions. Over time, pH sensing bulbs accumulate protein deposits, oils, and organic matter from samples. ORP platinum tips develop oxidation and contamination. Reference junctions become clogged with precipitates. These issues cause slow response times, inaccurate readings, and electrode failure. MA9016 cleaning solution removes these contaminants, restoring electrode performance and extending lifespan.How to Use:
Pour small amount of MA9016 solution into a clean container
Immerse pH or ORP electrode in cleaning solution
Soak for 15-20 minutes (or longer for heavily contaminated electrodes)
Gently agitate electrode during soaking to help remove deposits
Rinse electrode thoroughly with distilled water
Recalibrate pH meter or ORP meter before use
Store electrode properly in storage solution (pH) or dry (ORP)
When to Clean Electrodes:Clean your pH or ORP electrode when you notice slow response times, drifting readings, inability to calibrate, or after testing samples with high protein content, oils, or organic matter. For best results, clean electrodes weekly for frequent use, monthly for moderate use, or whenever performance degrades. Always clean before long-term storage.Electrode Care Best Practices:Regular cleaning with MA9016 is essential, but proper electrode care also includes correct storage (pH electrodes in storage solution, never distilled water), regular calibration with fresh buffer solutions, gentle handling to avoid damaging the glass bulb or platinum tip, and replacing electrodes when cleaning no longer restores performance.Storage & Handling:Store bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep bottle tightly sealed when not in use. Do not use solution past expiration date. For best results, allow solution to reach room temperature before use.Note: Always recalibrate pH or ORP meters after cleaning electrodes. For complete electrode maintenance, use MA9016 cleaning solution with Milwaukee MA9015 storage solution (for pH electrodes) and calibration solutions (sold separately).
