It is more cost effective for labs. to buy buffers and other electrolytes ready made up. If you want to try your hand at making your own: Potassium phosphate (monobasic) + sodium hydroxide for pH7.00-8.00 Potassium biphthalate for pH4.00 Don't buy a cheap chemical balance!! BTW, you can now get a reasonable hand held pH meter for about $70. (Assuming that you calibrate it properly of course.) -- --- Regards, Cameron.
