Default Quick Question pH Electrode

Best case, it would depend on what kind of probe you have. If your
probe contains the same type of solution it might be fine, but if not,
I doubt it would be a good idea!

Many people say that 7.0 buffer (calibration) soln is the next best
thing -- I would use that until I can get my hands on some proper
storage soln.
