ActionStep
Fill a syringe with approximately 10 ml of the first pH standard buffer. Connect the syringe
to the Luer connector of pH valve port Cal, and inject the buffer.

When the Current value is stable, click the Calibrate button.5
Wash the pH flow cell by injecting water into pH valve port Cal using a new syringe.6
Enter the pH of the second pH standard buffer in the pH for buffer 2 field.7
Repeat steps 4-6 using the second pH standard buffer.8
Result: The calibration date and time are displayed in the dialog, along with values for
Calibrated electrode slope and Asymmetry potential at pH 7.
Is the Calibrated electrode slope ≥ 80% and the Asymmetry potential at pH 7 inside
the interval ± 60 mV?

•
If Yes: Click the Close button to switch the pH valve back to the default position and
to close the Calibration dialog.
•
If No: Clean the pH electrode and repeat the calibration procedure. If this does not
help, replace the electrode.
