The determination of pH, conductivity, ion concentration, redox potential
and dissolved oxygen are common analyses in most laboratories. The
measurement accuracy highly depends on the quality and operation of
the solutions used for sensor calibration and maintenance. METTLER
TOLEDO takes pride in a long tradition of producing complete measure-
ment systems, including a comprehensive range of top quality solutions.

Good Electrochemistry Practice

for calibration solutions

The quality of a solution is only guaranteed for unopend bottles that have not yet expired.
The following tips shall help optimize the use of calibration solutions after opening and
while in use in the laboratory. Fresh calibration solutions minimize the measurement
uncertainty and thus optimize the reproducibility of results:
Note the date on the bottle when the calibration solution is opened for the first time.
Keep the bottles sealed tightly at all times and use any dispensed calibration solution
promptly.
Never pour dispensed calibration solution back into the original bottle.
Ensure that bottles containing calibration solution are not contaminated.
Store calibration solutions at ambient temperatures and avoid direct sunlight.
Clean your sensors properly prior to calibration and do not calibrate directly in the origi-
nal bottle (unless there is an instruction to do so).
Replace calibration solutions that have reached the expiry date or may be contaminated.

pH measurements are only as accurate as the buffer solutions used for
calibration purposes. METTLER TOLEDO offers a selection of quality pH
buffers to match your specific requirements. No matter if you look for
traceable technical buffers or buffers that are certified by an accredited
body, you will find the right solution. Maximum precision is guaranteed
with our NIST/DIN buffers!

The internationally recognized pH
scale is based on standard refer-
ence materials (SRM) selected
by NIST (National Institute of
Standards and Technology, USA).
METTLER TOLEDO buffer solutions
are traceable to these primary
standards. The quality inspection
certificate, that is available for ev-
ery bottle and sachet, guarantees
stated values and traceability.
The DKD (Deutscher Kalibrier-
dienst, German Calibration Ser-
vice) certified buffers are the per-
fect product for regulated indus-
tries. DKD is accepted by other
accreditation bodies within the
scope of the European Coopera-
tion for Accreditation (EA) and the
International Laboratory Accredi-
tation Cooperation (ILAC).
The NIST/DIN pH buffers are spe-
cified to three decimal places,
e.g.9.180, offering the highest
possible pH precision. A detailed
test certificate is available for
every bottle and guarantees the
tested values and traceability.
Calibration cannot get better than

The pH value of a buffer solution
changes with temperature. Seve-
ral international standards state
the pH values at different temper-
atures in steps of 5C. Thus, all
METTLER TOLEDO buffer solutions
come with a temperature table
printed on the label. The same
tables are stored in all METTLER
TOLEDO pH meters which allows
for easy automatic temperature
compensation.
pH electrodes must be calibrated regularly; at least
once a day prior to measurements and after every
cleaning, regeneration or long-term storage. The
calibration adjusts slope and offset of an electrode to
their true values. Since an electrode is characterized
by both its slope and its offset, it is advisable to do a
minimum of a two point calibration for reliable mea-
surements and better precision. For a wider measure-
ment range three or more calibration points are recom-
mended. Important is that the following measurements
are within the calibration range.

The pH electrode is the main actor of the measurement, requiring, there-
fore, special care and attention. METTLER TOLEDO provides the necessary
maintenance solutions. For an easy start the All-in-One kits offer an opti-
mal selection of solutions for calibration and maintenance. Your electrode

Thanks to the ARGENTHAL

ref-
erence system most METTLER
TOLEDO pH sensors are filled with
3 mol/L KCl electrolyte solution.
There is no more risk of contami-
nating your samples with silver
ions. For measurements in non-
aqueous samples or samples
with low ionic strength a special
bridge electrolyte is needed.
Always make sure that your
electrode is completely filled with
clean electrolyte solution.
When rinsing with deionized
water is not sufficient, a special
cleaning solution can be used to
remove sample residues. Depend-
ing on the contamination, Pepsin-
HCl or Thiourea is recommended.
The InLab

storage solution
provides optimal conditions for
sensors during the time between
measurements, be it short- or
long-term storage. Find more
helpful maintenance tips on
www.electrodes.net.
The VPac

pH verification kit
provides a quick and easy perfor-
mance verification of your pH sys-
tem. Measure two test solutions
of unknown pH value and get an
immediate online evaluation of
your results including certificate!
Never has it been easier to verify
your system after installation or
any setup change or simply for
extra peace of mind.

Depending on the type of sensor, conductivity standards are used for calibration
or verification. Low conductivity standards require special handling and are
mostly used for verification purposes. In this case the cell constant has been
determined with a standard of higher conductivity or is stated on the sensor
certificate. Conductivity standards are available in sachets to guarantee fresh
solution for every calibration as well as maximum ease of use.

Low conductivity standards the influence of air
Conductivity standards are directly affected by the influence of carbon
dioxide (CO2) when in contact with air. Thus, especially the lower conduc-
tivity standards have a limited lifespan. Measurements of samples with
conductivity lower than 10 S/cm need a special procedure, such as pro-
tection with inert gas or the usage of a flow cell. These standards are only
intended for verification and not for calibration.
Temperature dependence
A slight change in temperature usually has a big impact on the conduc-
tivity value of a standard solution. A table on every bottle label indicates
the conductivity values at the most common measurement temperatures.
During calibration the meter automatically references to this table for tem-
perature compensation. If possible, calibration and measurements should
be performed at the same temperature.

Redox Buffer Solutions
and Tablets for Dissolved Oxygen Sensors
Redox buffer solutions for verification purposes
Redox buffer solutions are used for verification of all common redox sen-
sors. They are not used for calibration purposes. Similar to other solutions
they are temperature dependent. It is therefore important to know the mea-
surement temperature of the buffer. A table on every bottle label indicates
redox values at different temperatures.
Zero oxygen tablets
Zero oxygen tablets make the preparation of a solution with zero oxygen
content very easy. This solution can be used for calibration, verification or
conditioning purposes if measurements are performed at low dissolved
oxygen levels.

Measuring with ion-selective electrodes (ISE) is the easiest and most
affordable way to determine ion concentration. However, ISEs require
careful handling and the use of the correct solutions. METTLER TOLEDO

High precision ion calibration
standards can be ordered at
concentrations of 1000, 100 and
10mg/L (ppm). In case a lower
concentration is needed it can
easily be prepared with serial
dilution that is explained in the
electrode manual.
In all analytical procedures us-
ing an ISE, the correct amount
of ISA (Ionic Strenght Adjustor)
must be added to all samples and
standards prior to measurement
or calibration. This solution en-
sures that samples and standards
have similar and constant ionic
strength. Instructions for type and
amount of ISA can be found in the
manual of every ISE.
It is important to fill the reference
electrode of every ISE with the
recommended electrolyte solu-
tion. The correct electrolyte will
minimize junction potentials and
provide optimum temperature
and time response. The electro-
lyte must be refilled or replaced
regularly in order to achieve good
electrode performance. For more
information please refer to the
electrode manual.
