Understanding Buffer Solutions – Why 4.01, 7.01, and 10.01 Matter
🔹 What Are Buffer Solutions?
Buffer solutions are liquids with precisely known and stable pH values. They are used to calibrate pH meters and ensure accurate readings by setting reference points across the pH scale.
🔹 Why Use Three Points of Calibration?
Using three buffer solutions (acidic, neutral, and alkaline) gives you a full-range calibration:
- pH 4.01 – Used for acidic samples like yoghurt, fermented milk, and certain cheeses.
- pH 7.01 – The most commonly used buffer, ideal for neutral pH verification.
- pH 10.01 – Used in alkaline ranges, relevant for cleaning solution tests or certain CIP systems.

Best Practices for Calibration & Our Full Solution Range
✅ Best Practices When Calibrating pH Meters
- Always use fresh buffer solution; discard used portions.
- Perform daily calibration or before each shift in dairy plants.
- Rinse the electrode with distilled water between buffers.
- Store your pH electrode in a proper storage solution (never in distilled or tap water).
