3Redox/ORP Electrode User Guide

Sample Requirements
Electrodes with an epoxy body should only be used in aqueous
solutions.
Electrodes with a glass body may be used in non-aqueous
solutions and solutions that contain organic solvents.
The ORP electrodes contain a silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl)
reference that may become clogged in solutions that contain
silver complexing or binding agents such as TRIS, proteins and
sulfides. Frequent cleaning may be required when measuring
solutions that contain these agents. Proteins cause the
additional problem of coating the electrode, so extra care should
be taken to keep the electrode clean while measuring samples
that contain proteins.
