Keeping your pH meter calibrated is the best way to ensure consistent and accurate pH measurements. A pH buffer solution is essential to calibrate a pH meter accurately.
About Calibrating Your pH Meter
Regularly calibrating your pH meter will guarantee its effectiveness. Determining the right frequency for your requirements will depend on two things:
- How often you use your device (frequency); and
- Your required level of accuracy (standard points).
Frequency: If you use your meter daily and need very accurate measurements, we recommend you calibrate daily. If your pH meter use is casual – like a few times a week - weekly calibration may do the job.
Standard Points: Instrument Choice Scientists recommend that you calibrate your meter - it's easy and will only take a minute. All you'll need are the correct pH solutions for your application(s). For best results, perform your calibration to a minimum of two standard points.
