  • Probe Handling: The polarographic probe is delicate. Do not touch the membrane with sharp objects or abrasives. Do not use the probe in solutions containing organic solvents that might damage the membrane.
  • Polarization Time: To ensure accuracy, DO probes require a warm-up period of at least 10-30 minutes after connecting to the meter to stabilize the current. Connect the probe and turn on the meter well in advance of calibration.
  • Calibration Intervals: Calibrate the meter daily before use or as per facility protocol, especially when high accuracy is required for critical water systems. Use air calibration for general purposes.
  • Membrane Cap Life: Replace the membrane cap when it is damaged or when the response time becomes sluggish.

2. FIRST AID MEASURES

  • Electrolyte Exposure: If the internal electrolyte solution (DO filling solution) comes into contact with eyes, flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention. If on skin, wash with soap and water.
  • Sample Splash: If a biological sample splashes into the eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention; if on skin, wash with soap and water.
  • Electrical Malfunction: If the meter shows signs of electrical malfunction, disconnect it from any power source and contact service personnel.

3. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

  • Flammability: The plastic housing, cable, and case are combustible; may melt or burn if exposed to flame or high heat.
  • Extinguishing Media: Use carbon dioxide (CO₂) or dry chemical extinguisher for electrical fires.
