How to ship probes wet?

[Fishbro]

I’ll be shipping an apex temp and ph probe to someone and just wondering how am I supposed to keep the probes wet? I would just put them in a plastic bag but it could leak.

Ideally you would use one of these..

I’m shipping out tomorrow and the BRS ones are out of stock any other ideas?

Try to store the pH probe in calibration fluid if you can. Do you still have the rubber boot the pH probe came with?

The temperature probe should be fine dry.

A little balloon with a zip tie. Put a little tap water in the balloon. I think it just needs to be moist not wet. Even if it dries out for a brief time, should be alright on a ph probe.
