PH Meter Electrode Cleaning
![Post Post](./styles/prosilver_se/imageset/icon_post_target.gif)
Hey Gang.
I finally bit the bullet and bought a good (I think) PH meter. It's a Hanna Instruments that's apparently designed for meat. I made a batch of nduja today. Fatty and sticky.
I'm running out of the small amount of cleaning solution that came with the unit. Looking at the cleaning solution they sell for this stuff I was shocked. $41 plus shipping and tax for 25, 20ml sachets. That's ridiculous. No way!
I'm reading that garden variety isopropyl alcohol does the job well. Also, "detergent" comes up but it gives no mention of the type of detergent or what concentration. I'm hoping some of you can share what you do to clean your glass probes without damaging them.
While we're at it.... I'm going to assume there's a less costly fluid I can use for storage solution than what they're selling. Does anyone have any insight on this?
Happy salumi season!
