When you calibrate a ph probe do you rinse between steps?

When you calibrate a new ph probe are you suppose to rinse it when going from the first calibration fluid packet to the second?

Also, it was shipped with a cap and some fluid to keep it wet, should it be rinsed of this fluid before going into the first calibration fluid?

The probe should be rinsed before calibration and between packets in RO/DI water. If the probe cap has a lid you can save it should you ever need to store your probe.
