Clean Regularly.
Depending on the nature of your samples, your pH electrode can become dirty or clogged resulting in slow and faulty readings. Regular cleaning will prolong the life of your electrode.
Calibrate Often.
To ensure your pH measurements are accurate, be sure to calibrate after extended storage, cleaning, and before use. Use fresh buffers that bracket your expected value.
Condition Always.
A dry electrode results in slow, incorrect measurements. Always use proper storage solution and be sure to fully cover the junction.

Your pH Electrode
Pick the Right Tip Shape for Your Testing Needs.
Spherical
A spherical tip is the most common shape for a pH electrode due to it's large surface area.
BEST FOR: aqueous samples and general purpose.
Conical
A cone shape makes testing of semi-solids easy.
BEST FOR: direct penetration into semi-solids, emulsions, soil, and slurries.
Flat Tip
The flat tip allows for the direct surface measurement of a sample.
BEST FOR: flat surfaces, skin, leather, and paper.
Finding the right electrode for specific testing can be tough. In order to help, Hanna Instruments has put together a guide, Getting To Know Your pH Electrode.
Do You Have the Right pH Buffers?
How do you know when calibration is necessary or why your readings are off?
An essential step in achieving accurate pH readings is proper calibration. A clean, calibrated, and conditioned pH electrode will provide accurate and repeatable results. When calibrating a pH electrode it is important to choose buffers that “bracket” (are above and below) the expected reading.
For example, if the expected reading is pH 5.4 then it would be best to calibrate to pH 4.01 and pH 7.01.
We manufacture a wide range of buffer solutions for a variety of uses. Visit our blog to find out What Type of pH Calibration Solution Should You Use?

Monitoring Slope and Offset
Important calibration values to monitor include slope and offset. These numbers provide information on the probe’s overall condition. The offset is the mV reading of the electrode when submerged in pH 7 buffer. Theoretically, the offset is 0 mV; however, the offset shouldn’t exceed ±30 mV. With edge®, the mV reading of the measured pH can be displayed on the LCD. The slope of the electrode is calculated by determining the mV change between two different pH buffers.
Hanna Tip: We recommend that you don't let the offset exceed ±30 mV and the slope percentage stays between 85-105%.
If you have a bad offset, this could mean that you either have a clogged junction or that the probe requires cleaning. If this occurs, try soaking the probe in a cleaning solution and repeat the process of checking offset. If your slope is bad, this could mean you have used expired or contaminated buffers. If this is the case, ensure that fresh buffers are used. edge's Calibration Check probe diagnostics feature will prompt you if there is a problem with your probe.
