pH Storage Bottle
Product Code : EL-PM-11018
Quick answer: The pH Storage Bottle is an air-tight plastic bottle fitted with a grommet, used to store a pH electrode between measurements so that its glass bulb does not dry out. Keeping the electrode moist protects its response and extends its working life. Lab Exports manufactures it in Delhi for schools, colleges and universities.

How it is used
The glass bulb of a pH electrode works only when its outer surface is hydrated. If the electrode is left to dry, its response becomes slow and unstable and it may need reconditioning before it reads correctly again. The storage bottle prevents this: the grommet grips the electrode and seals the opening, and the bulb stays immersed in storage solution inside the air-tight bottle.
Because the seal is air-tight, the storage solution does not evaporate between practicals or over holidays, so the electrode is ready to calibrate when it is next needed.
- Part-fill the bottle with the storage solution recommended for the electrode.
- Rinse the electrode with distilled water after the last measurement.
- Fit the electrode through the grommet so the bulb sits in the solution.
- Close the bottle so the seal is air-tight and store it upright.
Storage in plain distilled water is generally avoided, because it slowly draws ions out of the glass membrane and reference system; a proper storage solution in a sealed bottle keeps the electrode in good condition for longer.
Key features
- Air-tight seal that stops the storage solution evaporating
