1.0 PURPOSE:
T
o detail the standard operating procedure for operation of pH meter, Model:

2.0 SCOPE:

This SOP applies to Quality control laboratory of Raim Homoeo Laboratories, Bogadia,
Kishoregonj, Bangladesh.

3.0 RESPONSIBILITY:

QC Officer.

4.0 DEFINITIONS:

Nil

5. PRECAUTIONS:

5.1. Before first use of the glass electrode, or whenever the electrode is dry, soak overnight
in an electrode filling solution, KCl solution or electrode storage solution.
5.2. Rinse and blot-dry electrodes between each measurement (do not wipe). Rinse
electrodes with distilled water or deionized water, or part of the next solution to be
measured.
5.3. Store glass pH electrodes in electrode filling solution, KCl solution or electrode storage
solution. Always leave the filling hole open and refill with filling solution when the internal
solution level gets low. Store FET/ATC electrodes dry.

6.1 Immerse electrode in a buffer solution. Stir gently. Allow the electrode to reach a stable
value.
6.2 Press and release the pH/mV button until the digital display indicates pH mode.
6.3. Clear existing buffers when doing a new 2 or 3 point standardization. Use the Setup and
Enter button to clear existing buffers and to select a new set of buffers.
6.4 Press Standardize. The meter recognizes the buffer and flashes a buffer icon. When the
signal is stable, or when you press Enter the buffer is entered.
6.5. The meter displays the % slope of the electrode as 100.0%.
6.6. To enter a second buffer, place the electrode in the second buffer solution, stir, allow time
for the electrode to stabilize and press Standardize again. The meter recognizes the buffer and
displays the first and second buffer icons.
6.7. Next, the meter performs a diagnostic test of the electrode. The meter displays the % slope
of the electrode.
6.8 To set a third standard, place the electrode in the third buffer solution, stir, allow stabilizing,
and pressing Standardize. The display will show three buffer icons.
6.9. After entering each buffer, the standardizing icon goes off and the measuring icon appears
on the display to indicate that the meter returns to Measuring operation.
Standardize the meter and electrode using at least two buffers with pH values bracketing the
expected pH of the samples.
