Directions for Using EC Calibration Solution 🧪

Prepare Calibration Solution
Pour a small amount of AUSTRALIAN SCIENTIFIC 12.88mS/cm conductivity solution into a clean plastic container. Do not contaminate the original bottle.

Clean EC Probe
Rinse your EC meter or TDS meter probe with distilled or deionised water.

Calibrate Conductivity Meter

  • Submerge probe in 12.88 mS/cm calibration solution
  • Gently stir to remove air bubbles
  • Allow temperature to stabilise (ideally 25°C)
  • Press and hold CAL until the meter matches 12.88 mS/cm

After Calibration
Rinse probe and store as per manufacturer instructions.

Dispose of Used Solution
Always discard used EC calibration solution after use.


Important Notes for EC Calibration 📌

  • 🌡️ Temperature affects conductivity calibration – stabilise before calibrating
  • 🧪 Use plastic containers only to avoid contamination
  • ♻️ Always use fresh conductivity calibration solution for best results

FAQ

Q. What is AUSTRALIAN SCIENTIFIC 12.88mS Conductivity Standard Solution used for?

AUSTRALIAN SCIENTIFIC 12.88mS Conductivity Standard Solution is used to calibrate EC, conductivity and TDS meters to ensure accurate readings when measuring hydroponic nutrient solutions.

Q. Which meters can be calibrated with AUSTRALIAN SCIENTIFIC 12.88mS Conductivity Standard Solution?

This calibration fluid is used with APERA INSTRUMENTS water control tools such as the EC60 and PC60 pocket testers.

Q. Should the EC probe be placed directly into the bottle?

No. Always pour a small amount of AUSTRALIAN SCIENTIFIC 12.88mS Conductivity Standard Solution into a separate clean container before calibration to prevent contamination.

Q. Can the calibration solution be reused?

No. Used AUSTRALIAN SCIENTIFIC 12.88mS Conductivity Standard Solution should always be discarded after calibration and never returned to the bottle.

Q. Why is temperature important when calibrating EC meters?

Conductivity readings are temperature dependent, so the solution and probe should be at a stable temperature (commonly 25°C) to ensure accurate calibration results.
