Calibrating for ISE measurements

Why calibrate?

Ion-selective electrodes age and are temperature-dependent. This
changes the slope. As a result, an inexact measured value is displayed.
Calibration determines the current value of the slope of the electrode
and stores it in the instrument.

Thus, you should calibrate before each measurement and at regular in-
tervals.

When to calibrate?

z Before any measurement if possible
z After connecting another ISE electrode
z When the sensor symbol flashes, e.g. after a voltage interruption

(empty batteries)
