A. pH probes require calibration periodically to ensure accurate repeatable measurements. Calibration solutions are used to calibrate the probe. These are liquids which are manufactured specific to the calibration process. Bluelab recommend a two point calibration of pH to ensure the most reliable results.

pH calibration solutions are available in pH 7.0, pH 4.0 and pH 10.0.
If a pH below 7.0 is being measured, use pH 7.0 and pH 4.0 calibration solutions.
If a pH above 7.0 is being measured, use pH 7.0 and pH 10.0 calibration solutions.
Ensure the temperature of the solution and probe are as close as possible.
