Electrode Hydration and Storage

( a ) Biotest storage and hydration.-- The Biotests are shipped at room temperature and vacuum packed with silica gel crystals to protect them from atmospheric humidity. Upon receipt, store unopened at 3-8°C

until expiration date. To hydrate the Biotest prior to using (this process should be carried out at least 24

hours prior to use):

( 1 ) Discard the silica gel crystals from inside the tube.

( 2 ) Fill the tube with SUL Measurement Solution until the Biotest is submerged.

( 3 ) Add 20 μL of SUL Calibration Reagent.

( 4 ) Once hydrated, the Biotest must be stored vertically at 3-8°C for a maximum of 15 days.
