Product Overview
This pH 8.00 buffer solution is a high-precision, NIST-traceable reference standard designed for accurate pH meter calibration and laboratory applications. Formulated with Specpure® grade purity, it ensures minimal interference and consistent performance, making it ideal for critical measurements where precision is paramount. The solution is colorless, eliminating potential optical interference, and maintains a stable pH of 8.00 (±0.01 at 25°C), adhering to strict quality control standards. Its traceability to NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) guarantees reliability, while the 550 mL pack size offers convenience for frequent calibration needs. The buffer is chemically stable, resistant to microbial contamination, and compatible with most laboratory glassware and plasticware. Whether used in routine lab maintenance or high-stakes research, this buffer solution delivers dependable accuracy, reducing variability in experimental results. The absence of colorants ensures compatibility with spectrophotometric applications, while its long shelf life minimizes replacement frequency, optimizing lab efficiency.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this pH 8.00 buffer solution?
The solution remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at room temperature (15–25°C). Once opened, use within 6 months for optimal accuracy.
2. Can this buffer be used with automated pH meters?
Yes, it is fully compatible with both manual and automated pH meters, including benchtop and portable models, provided the electrode is properly maintained.
3. Is this buffer solution sterile or filtered?
The solution is not sterile but is manufactured under controlled conditions to minimize microbial contamination. For sterile applications, filtration through a 0.22 µm membrane is recommended.
4. How does NIST traceability benefit my measurements?
NIST traceability ensures the buffer’s pH value is verified against national standards, providing a documented chain of calibration that enhances the credibility and reproducibility of your results.
5. What alternatives are available if I need a different pH value?
For broader calibration needs, consider pH 4.00, 7.00, or 10.00 buffer solutions from the same Specpure® NIST-traceable series, which offer identical precision and reliability.
