Mj. Gardner et al., CONTROL SAMPLES FOR THE DETERMINATION OF PH IN LOW IONIC-STRENGTH WATERS - CONSENSUS VALUES FROM INTERLABORATORY TESTS, Talanta, 44(1), 1997, pp. 111-117
The results of a series of interlaboratory tests using low ionic stren
gth buffer solutions are reported. The test data and other background
information are presented as the basis for more realistic quality cont
rol materials for pH determination in low ionic strength waters. The e
ffect of atmospheric carbon dioxide on the pH of low ionic strength re
ference samples is discussed. Several control samples are recommended
for routine use.
