The Bluelab Probe Care Kit – pH provides all the necessary tools to service, clean, and calibrate your pH probes, ensuring consistent and reliable readings.
Probe Care Instructions: Detailed guidelines to assist you in properly maintaining your pH probe.
Bluelab Solution Sachets (20ml each): Two single-use sachets each of pH 7.0, pH 4.0, and KCl storage solutions for calibration and storage purposes.
Plastic Cups (3): Convenient containers for mixing and using the solutions during the cleaning and calibration process.
Bluelab pH Probe Cleaner: A specialized cleaning solution designed to effectively clean your pH probe without causing damage.
Bluelab Toothbrush (pH Probe Cleaning Instrument): A soft-bristled brush tailored for gently cleaning the probe's delicate components.
Bluelab advises servicing your pH equipment monthly. Regular maintenance involves cleaning the probe, hydrating it in KCl storage solution, and calibrating it using the provided pH 4.0 and pH 7.0 solutions. This routine ensures consistent accuracy and extends the lifespan of your device.
Cleaning: After each use, rinse the probe tip under fresh tap water. For thorough cleaning, use the Bluelab pH Probe Cleaner and the provided toothbrush to gently remove any contaminants.
Hydration: If the probe has been allowed to dry out, rehydrate it by soaking the tip in KCl storage solution for at least 24 hours before use.
Calibration: Calibrate the pH pen by first immersing the probe in pH 7.0 solution, followed by pH 4.0 solution, ensuring the device provides accurate measurements.
Regular cleaning and calibration prevent inaccuracies caused by probe contamination or drift. By adhering to a consistent maintenance schedule, you ensure reliable readings, which are vital for effective nutrient management and overall plant health.
