{"id":1587,"count":44,"description":"<h2>Buffer solutions for pH, ORP and EC, storage and cleaning solutions for probes<\/h2><p>An uncalibrated pH probe, ORP probe or EC probe gives measurement errors that you often only notice when the dosing or measurement has already drifted. That is why you should use a buffer solution (calibration solution or buffer) that suits your pH meter, ORP meter or conductivity meter. For swimming pool, aquarium and laboratory we supply pH buffer solutions 4, 6.86, 7, 9, 9.18 and 10, ORP buffer solutions from 240 to 650 mV and EC conductivity standards. Every pack is traceable per lot. Depending on the value, you choose 250 ml, 60 ml or 20 ml sachets.<\/p><p>You buy exactly the solutions your meter or controller needs. Suitable for swimming pool and aquarium, hydroponics, water treatment, laboratory and industry.<\/p><p>Whether you work in a laboratory, swimming pool, hydroponics, water treatment, the food industry or the process industry: with the right buffer solution, storage solution and cleaning solution you always measure reliably and avoid costly measurement errors.<\/p><h2>pH buffer solution<\/h2><p>Always start a pH calibration with pH 7.00. The second point follows what the display asks for. All values apply at 25 \u00b0C, with a CoA per lot. Available in 250 ml, 60 ml and 20 ml.

If you calibrate occasionally, you place the probe directly into a <a href=\"\/en-ie\/buffer-solutions\/60ml\/\">60 ml bottle<\/a>; with one bottle you can calibrate several times, as long as the solution does not become contaminated. If you calibrate often, choose the <a href=\"\/en-ie\/buffer-solutions\/250ml\/\">250 ml bottle<\/a> and pour a fresh dose into a clean beaker each time.<\/p><h2>Calibrating pH and ORP together<\/h2><p>If you calibrate the pH probe and the ORP probe of your swimming pool, choose one of the <a href=\"\/en-ie\/buffer-solutions\/buffer-solutions-ph-orp\/\">calibration sets pH and ORP<\/a>: with 10 sachets of 20 ml per value, or as a complete pack in 60 ml bottles with KCl storage solution and cleaning solution.<\/p><h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2><h3>May I pour used buffer solution back into the bottle?<\/h3><p>Used solution is contaminated and must never go back into the bottle. This affects the value and makes the whole bottle unusable.<\/p><h3>May I store a pH or ORP probe in demineralised water?<\/h3><p>Demineralised or distilled water damages the pH and ORP probe. Always use <a href=\"\/en-ie\/buffer-solutions\/kcl-storage-solution\/\">KCl storage solution 3 mol\/l<\/a>.<\/p><h3>Are your solutions suitable for Sugar Valley, Hayward, Zodiac, AstralPool, Bayrol, Hanna and Milwaukee?<\/h3><p>Yes. Universal on those controllers, and on the <a href=\"\/en-ie\/probes\/ph-probe\/\">pH probe<\/a>, the <a href=\"\/en-ie\/probes\/orp-probe\/\">ORP probe<\/a>, the <a href=\"\/en-ie\/ph-meter.html\">pH meter<\/a> and the <a href=\"\/en-ie\/meters\/pool-salt-tester\/\">pool salt tester<\/a>. Seko, CCEI and the smaller brands are covered in the brand blogs.<\/p><h3>How often should I calibrate?<\/h3><p>Always when you start using a new meter or probe, and after that as the manual of your meter or dosing system requires. More often in critical processes.<\/p><h3>How long does an opened bottle keep?<\/h3><p>Close the bottle tightly after use and note the opening date: buffer solutions remain stable, but do not keep indefinitely after opening. Alkaline buffer solutions (pH 9\u201310) deteriorate faster. Unopened sachets stay fresh until the expiry date.<\/p><h3>Do you have a certificate of analysis?<\/h3><p>Yes, for every lot of pH, ORP and EC buffer solution, except ORP 240 mV, ORP 250 mV and TDS 3000. SDS and CoAs can be found in the Downloads section.<\/p><h3>Are the sachets better than bottles?<\/h3><p>Sachets always provide fresh solution and eliminate the risk of contamination. Ideal for laboratories and critical applications. Bottles are better suited when you have to calibrate often.<\/p><h3>Do you deliver quickly?<\/h3><p>Yes, we deliver quickly.<\/p><p>Order your buffer solutions, KCl storage solution or cleaning solution today.
