Pertanyaan yang Sering Diajukan
Pertanyaan umum tentang MICRO ESSENTIAL dari 3G Electric.
What is the shelf life of Micro Essential pH buffer capsules?
Micro Essential pH buffer capsules, when stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, typically have a shelf life of 2 to 3 years from the date of manufacture. The exact expiration date is printed on each capsule or the packaging. Once dissolved in distilled water, the buffer solution should be used within 24 hours for best accuracy, as exposure to air can alter the pH due to absorption of carbon dioxide.
How do I prepare a Micro Essential pH buffer capsule for use?
To prepare a Micro Essential pH buffer capsule, empty the contents of one capsule into a clean container. Add the specified volume of distilled or deionized water—20 mL for individual capsules (SKUs 3TXF4, 3TXF7, 3TXF1) or 100 mL for the buffer set (SKU 3TXE7). Stir gently until the powder is fully dissolved. The resulting solution is ready for immediate calibration. Do not reuse the solution after calibration; discard it and prepare a fresh capsule for each use.
Are Micro Essential pH buffers traceable to NIST standards?
Micro Essential Laboratory states that their pH buffers are manufactured using NIST-traceable reference materials. Each batch is tested against primary standards to ensure the stated pH value of ±0.02 pH units. Certificates of analysis are available upon request from 3G Electric for specific lot numbers, providing documentation for quality assurance audits.
Can I use Micro Essential pH 4.00, 7.00, and 10.00 buffers for three-point calibration?
Yes, the Micro Essential buffer set (SKU 3TXE7) includes capsules for pH 4.00, 7.00, and 10.00, which are the standard points for three-point calibration of pH meters. This method improves accuracy across the measurement range. For two-point calibration, you can select any two of the three buffers, typically pH 7.00 as the midpoint and either pH 4.00 or pH 10.00 depending on your sample's expected pH range.
What is the temperature specification for Micro Essential pH buffers?
Micro Essential pH buffers are calibrated at 25°C (77°F). The pH value of the buffer solution will vary slightly with temperature due to the temperature coefficient of the buffer chemistry. For most applications, the ±0.02 pH tolerance is maintained within a temperature range of 20°C to 30°C. For measurements outside this range, consult the buffer's temperature correction table provided in the product documentation.
