Apera Instruments’ Pepsin-based Electrode Cleaning Solution is a specially formulated solution designed to quickly remove contaminants from sensors while refreshing sensitive membranes:
- Extends the life of the electrodes and maintains their measurement accuracy
- Removes impurities such as mineral deposits, proteins and other contaminants
- Cleans your electrodes quickly, easily and thoroughly
Simply soak the electrode in Apera’s pepsin-hydrochloric acid cleaning solution for about an hour (remove the sensor cover, if present)—the protective caps that the electrode comes with, or a small beaker, are suitable for this purpose. This will dissolve most mineral deposits, protein-based contaminants, or other coatings. After soaking, rinse off any remaining residue with a soft brush and clean water. Afterward, it’s usually a good idea to store the electrode in storage solution for a few hours. Recalibrate your meter before the next measurement.
Your meter is only as accurate as the electrode (probe/sensor) is clean. A dirty electrode or an improperly cleaned electrode does not provide reliable measured values. Apera’s electrode cleaning solution helps you thoroughly remove contaminants on pH, conductivity and ORP electrodes, maximizing electrode life and maintaining measurement accuracy. Electrode cleaning is a quick and effective routine that should be performed regularly.
