Description
Meytec KCL electrode storage solution sachet 20 ml
The Meytec KCL electrode storage solution sachet 20 ml is a single use maintenance solution for pH and ORP electrodes. Each sachet contains potassium chloride (KCL) at the correct concentration to keep the glass membrane and reference junction hydrated, helping probes maintain accuracy and a fast response between measurements.
Single use KCL storage solution for pH and ORP probes
pH and ORP electrodes should never be stored dry or in plain water. When the glass membrane or reference junction dries out, readings drift, response time becomes slow and the probe can suffer irreversible damage. The Meytec KCL electrode storage solution sachet 20 ml provides a fresh, ready to use volume of KCL solution for safe storage between measurements, overnight or during short shutdown periods.
Because each sachet is sealed until use, the storage solution is protected against evaporation and contamination. This makes it an excellent choice for precise calibration work, service calls or occasional users who still want professional storage conditions for their probes.
Advantages of sachet format
The Meytec KCL electrode storage solution sachet 20 ml offers the same protection as a storage bottle but in a compact, disposable format. The 20 ml volume is ideal for filling electrode caps, small storage vials or temporary soaking containers during maintenance.
- Pre dosed 20 ml volume suitable for one or a few probes.
- Sealed packaging keeps the KCL solution fresh until opening.
- Easy to carry in field test kits and service cases.
After use, the sachet can simply be discarded, reducing the risk of reusing old or contaminated storage solution and ensuring consistent conditions for each maintenance cycle.
Typical applications and use
The Meytec KCL electrode storage solution sachet 20 ml is suitable for most standard laboratory and field electrodes used on pools, spas and water treatment systems. It can be used with:
- Glass pH electrodes for handheld meters and controllers.
- ORP and redox probes used for automatic disinfection control.
- Combination electrodes in portable multi parameter testers.
To use the sachet, simply open it shortly before storage, pour the solution into the protective cap or a small container and place the electrode tip into the KCL solution. The glass bulb and junction should be fully covered, while the upper body of the probe remains dry.
Short term storage and rehydration
The Meytec KCL electrode storage solution sachet 20 ml is ideal for short term storage between measurements and for rehydrating probes that have dried out. Soaking the electrode tip in fresh KCL solution can help restore part of the sensitivity and improve response speed before calibration.
- Use after cleaning to rehydrate the membrane and junction.
- Apply when probes have been accidentally stored dry for a short time.
- Combine with buffer solutions for accurate calibration after soaking.
Even with correct storage, electrodes have a limited lifetime. Stable readings in KCL solution and predictable behaviour during calibration are good indicators that the probe is still suitable for reliable pool water control.
Handling and disposal
Each Meytec KCL electrode storage solution sachet 20 ml is intended for single use. Once opened, the solution should be used immediately and not stored for later sessions. Any remaining liquid can be disposed of according to local regulations together with the empty sachet.
- Open the sachet only when you are ready to use the solution.
- Do not mix leftover solution from different sachets.
- Rinse probes briefly with clean water after storage and before measurement.
By using fresh KCL from a sealed sachet for each maintenance cycle, you minimise contamination risks and support consistent, stable performance of pH and ORP probes in pool and spa installations.
