Can the JBL storage solution be used to regenerate electrodes ?
Yes, it can. The storage solution is also intended for the regeneration of pH electrodes. However, please note the following:
Any regeneration always depends on the state of the electrodes, their age and the water in which they are used.
1) Maintenance: An electrode should never be allowed to dry up or be stored in a dry condition. This damages the membrane so that the flow of ions through the membrane is no longer ensured. An electrode that has dried up or been stored in a dry condition can sometimes be reactivated for several weeks’ use if it is laid in the storage solution for approx. 3 days.
Please note, too, that any guarantee claims no longer apply if the electrodes are stored in a dry condition or sent in dry.
2) pH electrodes age with time i.e. ions escape from the electrode into the environment. The period of aging depends on how they are used.
3) If pH electrodes are used in soft to very soft water, they age faster. In this case, it is advisable to place the electrodes in the storage solution for 1-2 days every 4 weeks or so.
