I have a phone meter Opera model PH 60. I used it and did one batch with it. Then it was unused and in storage for about 5.5 months. It sat in the the storage solution that came with the meter. When I opened it up today, there was a film of grey and black mold/film in the bottle and on the meter.
I washed away the film in the bottle and used a Q-tip to clean the mold film away. I rinsed the probe and the bulb with tap water. Used a Q-tip to remove the film from the plastic body of the probe. I saw no film or mold on the bulb, so it got just a rinse. I rinsed everything with distilled water, shook off the water and refilled the probe cover with fresh storage solution, Alexa labeled 3M KCI.
Is there anything more I can do? If I calibrate and test =OK, is there any reason to not think I am out of the woods?
Please advise.
