Standard operation
Calibration
DANGER
Chemical exposure hazard. Obey laboratory safety procedures and
wear all of the personal protective equipment appropriate to the
chemicals that are handled. Refer to the current safety data sheets
(MSDS/SDS) for safety protocols.
Calibration procedure
This procedure is for general use with liquid calibration solutions. Refer
to the documents that are included with each probe for additional
information.
Note: Solutions should be stirred during calibration. For more information about the
stirring settings, refer to Change the stirring settings on page 9.
1. Pour the buffers or calibration solutions into the labeled calibration
beakers.
2. From the main menu push to select pH or mV calibration.
3. Rinse the probe with deionized water and put the probe into the first
calibration beaker. Be sure that there are no air bubbles in the
membrane.
4. Push to measure the first calibration solution.
The next calibration solution is shown.
5. Rinse the probe with deionized water and put the probe into the
second calibration beaker. Be sure that there are no air bubbles in
the membrane.
6. Push to measure the second calibration solution.
The next calibration solution is shown.
7. Rinse the probe with deionized water and put the probe into the third
calibration beaker. Be sure that there are no air bubbles in the
membrane.
