Hanna HI7061L Offers

Cleaning is a fast and effective routine that should be performed on a regular basis as a preventative measure against using a dirty electrode and to ensure that the junction is not clogged. By simply immersing the electrode in the HI7061L cleaning solution for 15 to 20 minutes will dissolve any mineral deposits or other coatings.

• Hanna cleaning solutions are specially formulated to have an expiration of 5 years from manufacture for an unopened bottle

The most common cause for pH measurement inaccuracies is an unclean or improperly cleaned electrode. This is very important to note, because during calibration, the instrument assumes that the electrode is clean and that the standardization curve created during the calibration process will remain a valid reference until the next calibration. The calibration process compensates for the change in offset voltage. If the mV offset continues to deviate and the meter is calibrated with a dirty electrode then inaccurate readings will result. pH meters on the market today will allow an offset voltage of approximately ±60 mV. The deviation from 0 mV is not unusual but ideally should be no greater than ±30 mV.

Good to Know

• In time, particles during routine measurement can contaminate the sensor tip, mishandled and aged solutions can also be affected
• Your meter can still be calibrated even if the electrode sensor tip is not properly cleaned before calibration, if the contamination dissipates, the calibration is no longer valid and the readings are inaccurate
• A proper cleaning and fresh solution ensures the whole surface of the sensor tip is reading correctly, ensuring an accurate calibration
