A pH half-cell method and apparatus includes an electrode, a pH sensitive glass membrane and an electrolyte in electrolytic contact with the electrode and membrane. The membrane includes at least about 15 mole percent lithium, and the electrolyte includes a lithium salt as the predominant monovalent cation. The pH half-cell is used with a reference half-cell and meter to provide an electrochemical potential measurement sensor, optionally with both half-cells disposed within a single housing. The lithium salt electrolyte is also used in a method for storing, conditioning, preserving and/or rehabilitating a pH half-cell.
