I bought a blue lab pH pen and I got this in the box. They said there is salt on there and that I shouldn't be worried. Should I be worried?

I would just follow the instructions and tests in a solution that you know the ph of. If it’s wrong contact them and they should replace it

Thats just dried storage fluid, they know it happens since they can't control inventory after it leaves.
People worry when they get them wet out of the box also, think its used.

The instruction specifically say not to be worried. Follow all the directions.

I was worried because I live in a tropical climate and salt can ruin things. I was concerned about the electronics rusting out and such. Thanks for your input, though.

That salt is the KCL solution
Buy KCL solution, and the cleaning /calibration kit (the bottles not the tiny packets)
Rinse it after each use, and store in kcl solution to preserve the longevity of the probe. Buy the cleaning kits and clean monthly. The meter will be a great tool , but if you don't calibrate everything you do will be off

The salt is from the kcl solution. It's fine.
Edit: I just seen it was addressed multiple times. Sorry. Lol
