Bluelab EC Probe Care Kit - kit for EC metres

Product detailed description

A clean EC probe measures solution strength accurately

Salts and minerals gradually build up on the EC probe - and these are what throw off the accuracy of conductivity measurement. The Bluelab EC Probe Care Kit contains a conductivity probe cleaner and a standard EC 2.77 solution, so you can remove deposits from the probe and check its accuracy in the EC 2.77 solution. Regular maintenance keeps measurement of nutrient solution strength reliable.

Kit contents

• Probe care instructions
• 2 pcs calibration sachet EC 2.77 (18 ml)
• One plastic cup
• Bluelab conductivity probe cleaner
• Suede cloth for cleaning the conductivity probe

Compatibility

The kit is intended for Bluelab EC (conductivity) probes, not pH. Bluelab EC devices are usually factory calibrated - the standard EC 2.77 solution is used for regular cleaning and checking probe accuracy, not for permanent calibration. It is suitable for Combo metres, monitors and control units from Bluelab with a conductivity probe. Suitable devices can be found in the EC metres category, and other solutions in the cleaning solutions category.

Parameters

• Type: maintenance kit for EC (conductivity) probe
• Standard solution: EC 2.77 (18 ml sachets)
• Cleaning: conductivity probe cleaner + suede cloth

Frequently asked questions

Why clean an EC probe at all?

Salts and minerals from the nutrient solution build up on the EC probe and gradually distort the measured conductivity. A cleaned probe measures solution strength accurately again. That is why the kit includes both a cleaner and a standard EC 2.77 solution to check accuracy after cleaning.
