Calibrating the pH Sensor System
The pH sensor patches and cuvettes include a pre-calibrated pK value determined at the factory. This
value was originally obtained at 22°C, and it is recalculated using the temperature compensation
algorithm based on the temperature that was entered in SpectraSuite’s calibration wizard. Using the
factory calibration method is ideal for being able to start making pH measurements quickly, though it is
less accurate than performing an independent user calibration.
Using SpectraSuite
The following sections describe performing a calibration and taking pH measurments using SpectraSuite
software. For more information on using SpectraSuite software, refer to the SpectraSuite Software
Installation and Operation Manual (see
Product-Related Documentation ).
