Remedy
Place electrode in tap water at 40 °C
until bubbles disappear
Make sure pH meter is set to the
buffer temperature
Fresh buffer solution
If heavily fouled, clean electrode
with ethanol / ether 1:1 or hand-hot
(40 °C) soap solution

Check that cable is properly
connected, or change the cable
– C heck contacts at electrode / cable
and cable / pH meter
– C heck cable or use a different one
– C hange electrode and recalibrate
