Calibrate the pH monitor

Maintenance interval
Calibrate the pH monitor once a day, when the pH electrode has been replaced, or if the
ambient temperature has changed by more than 5°C.
Required material
Use two pH calibration buffers with a difference of at least one pH unit. Preferably use
a pH standard buffer, pH 4 or pH 7, as the first calibration point, and a pH standard buffer
close to the lowest or highest pH you need to measure as your second point. Allow the
buffers to equilibrate to ambient temperature before use.
Instruction
Follow the instructions to perform the calibration.
