LabSen® 221 Combination pH Electrode

for Viscous and Low Ion Concentration Samples

User Manual

LabSen® electrochemical sensors are premium pH electrodes with manufacturing technology and

key components imported from Switzerland. The LabSen®221 Combination pH Electrode is

designed for precise pH measurement in viscous and low ion concentration samples.

This probe has the following features:

Impact-resistant membrane (see the right picture), there is no danger of

electrode breakage during normal use.

Movable sleeve, able to adjust infiltration rate of electrolyte.

Blue gel inner solution, does not flow and will not cause a bubble.

Long life reference system, has better stability and service life.

2 How to Use the Movable Sleeve

As shown on the right picture, reference solution flows out of the

small hole, seeps through the tapered surface of movable sleeve.

You may adjust the degree of firmness when use, push up the

movable sleeve to loose. If it is too tight to push, please referring to

the right picture: insert the probe into the round tube (the accessory

comes with the probe), and push down the probe, then the movable

sleeve will be loosen. Please pay attention to remove the rubber

plug when adjusting the movable sleeve, enables reference solution

flowing out of the small hole; then slowly rotate and tighten the

movable sleeve, so that there will be no air remain in the tapered

surface of movable sleeve, which can greatly influence the correct

measurement of the probe.

3 Usage and Maintenance

1. When measuring, please unscrew the sleeve cap, pull out the electrode and rinse it with deionized

or distilled water. After using, please put the electrode back into the bottle and screw tight the cap.

2. Prior to measurement, remove the blue rubber plug to maintain proper air pressure of the

reference solution, keeping consistent flow rate of the reference solution and stable potentials of

the junction.

3. After a period of usage, the reference solution will run low. Whenever the level falls to 1/2 height

of the electrode, add 3M KCL solution to the refilling hole with a syringe or pipette.

4. If reference solution is contaminated and needs replacement, unplug the blue rubber plug, loosen

the movable sleeve (see section 3), the reference solution will flow out quickly. Once the reference

solution runs out, use a syringe to add purified water through the refilling hole to rinse the

electrode cavity; then rinse again with 3M KCL to remove the remaining purified water; Tighten

the movable sleeve, refill 3M KCL solution with a syringe; then loosen the movable sleeve to let

the solution flows out a bit, and slowly twist it clockwise to tighten, so that air can be avoided in

the surface of movable sleeve.

5. Drop speed of reference solution decides by the glass sleeve tightness, the tighter the slower.

Electrodes must recalibrate upon tightness adjusted. For viscous or low ion concentration

solution measuring, requires fast speed.

6. The connector of the electrode should be kept clean and dry. If contaminated, please clean it with

medical cotton and absolute alcohol and blow dry to prevent the short circuit of the electrode and

slow reaction of electrode.

7. The electrode’s measuring tip should be soaked in the storage sleeve containing 3M KCL storage

solution to keep the membrane hydrated and junction unblocked. Clean the sleeve and replace

the storage solution if the storage solution gets turbid or mildewed. The electrode should never

be soaked in purified water or buffer solution for long.

8. Please avoid measuring dehydrated medium like strong acid or alkaline solution, absolute ethyl

alcohol and concentrated sulfuric acid. In case of measuring such solution, please try to reduce

the immersion time and clean it carefully after use.

9. After 1-year of use, we recommend replacing the electrode for best accuracy.

Before pulling out or putting back the

electrode, make sure to fully loosen the blue

cap on the storage sleeve so that the

electrode can move in and out smoothly.

4 Limited Warranty

We warrant this electrode to be free from defects in material and workmanship and agrees to repair
