pH electrode:
Replace pH electrode
Clean diaphragm
Clean membrane
Dry plug
Exchange electrolyte solution
Instrument:
Select right procedure
Set right temperature
Dry socket
Buffer solution:
Select solutions corresp. to the
calibration procedure
Use solutions once only
pH electrode:
Clean diaphragm
Clean membrane
Sample solution:
Possibly measure without air
