HI-5068 pH6.86 Technical Buffer Solution, 500ml
HI-5068 is a premium quality pH 6.86 Technical buffer solution, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) traceable and supplied with a Certificate of Analysis.
pH 6.86 is ideal for those requiring an accurate neutral bordering acidic reading, particularly those working in water purification plants, the food industry, the medical industry, aquatics, and Hydroponics, and wherever the pH is expected to be neutral bordering acidic.
Buffer solutions should be stored at 25 C, away from direct sunlight for accurate readings.
To correctly maintain your meter/electrode, we highly recommend use of a Hanna cleaning solution, as well as a buffer, for maximum performance every time.
Hanna buffer solutions are prepared, ready-to-use, according to precise formulas and standardised in accordance with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to ensure quality and accuracy. All solutions show a batch number, an expiry date, and the correlation table between pH and temperature. All bottled solutions are sealed with an air tight, tamper-proof seal to prevent any Carbon Dioxide from entering and causing a change in the pH buffer value.
