Application of secondary pH measurement method for homogeneity and stability assessment of reference materials

Abstract

Abstract In this work, the development and optimization of a secondary method for pH measurement using a differential potentiometric cell are described. The method was optimized and validated by measurement of three certified primary buffer solutions (CRMs) with nominal pH values of 4.005, 6.865 and 9.180 at 25 °C. The method was applied to assess homogeneity and stability of phosphate buffer solution with nominal pH of 7.000 at 25 °C which will be used as test item in proficiency testing schemes for pH measurement of testing laboratories. The experiments carried out and described in this article proved that this particular design of secondary differential potentiometric cell requires small volume of solutions, is fast, accurate and precise and is suitable for the characterization of secondary buffer solutions and assessment of homogeneity and stability of buffer solutions.
