Is it ok to keep the ph meter electrode in a ph 7 buffer solution for storage? Ore should I get a storage solution?

QUESTION:

I just joint back the group lately and want to thank all of you for the wonderful help we found in here. All the answer that I'am looking for just come in with out asking! A lot of info about TA and PH which I realy needed. But here I have two opinions from mi supplyers: Is it ok to keep the ph meter electrode in a ph 7 buffer solution for storage? Ore should I get a storage solution?

ANSWER:

-Storage solution is generally preferred, however buffer 7 is the second best alternative. In fact some Hanna instruction paklets say to use the pH 7 buffer as storage.
-That's good advice. Storage solution is simply 3 to 4 normal potassium chloride solution. Dissolve 22 to 29 grams of KCl in 100 ml of distilled water, and you have it.
