Calibration using standard solutions:
• 1- or 2-point calibration. 2-point calibration is recommended for
accurate pH measurement.
• Always use certified standard solutions (pH 2, 4, 7, 9, 10, or 12).
Sample solution requirements:
• pH range: 0 to 14 pH
• Temperature: 0 to 80

• After measurement, rinse off remaining sample solution from the
electrode thoroughly.
• Avoid a place with high temperature and humidity.
• Keep the wetting cap (moisten the cotton wad in the cap with a few
drops of water) attached to prevent the glass electrode and liquid
junction from drying out.
