7.5 Calibrate the pH monitor
Introduction
If pH will be measured during the chromatographic run, the pH monitor should be
calibrated before the run is started. Use two pH calibration buffers with a difference of
at least one pH unit. Preferably use a pH standard buffer pH 4 or 7 as the first calibration
point, and a pH standard buffer close to the lowest or highest pH you need to measure
as your second point. Allow the buffers to reach the operating temperature before use.
