Why is the slope too small on calibration of Metrohm Measuring Instruments?
- D
  Darryl BaileyJul 27, 2025
  If the slope is too small on the calibration of your Metrohm Measuring Instruments, it could be due to a dirty pH or ISE membrane or diaphragm, which requires cleaning. If you've been measuring in a non-aqueous solution, the glass membrane might be dehydrated; immerse the electrode in water between measurements. The buffer or standard solutions might be poor, so replace them. Alternatively, the electrode might be 'used up' and needs replacement.

What to do if the measured value is obviously incorrect on Metrohm Measuring Instruments?
- E
  Emily WattsAug 1, 2025
  If your Metrohm Measuring Instruments show an obviously incorrect measured value, this might be due to several reasons. Check and repeat the calibration, and consider replacing the buffer or standard solutions. Ensure the manual temperature input is correct. Clean the pH or ISE membrane or diaphragm. Refill the electrolyte or replace the electrode if they are too old. If none of these steps work, the electrode might be faulty and needs replacement.

Why does the measured value remain unstable on Metrohm Measuring Instruments?
- C
  Christopher WelchAug 6, 2025
  If the measured value of your Metrohm Measuring Instruments remains unstable and does not fulfill the drift criterion, it could be due to several factors. The pH or ISE membrane or diaphragm might be dirty, so cleaning it is recommended. Ensure the pH or temperature of the solution is stable, possibly by measuring under exclusion of air or thermostating the solution. The electrode might be unsuitable due to low conductivity or organic solution, so using a suitable electrode is advised. Check the electrode connection and connect it if it's not. If the issue persists, the electrode might be faulty and require replacement.

How to troubleshoot a missing or variable measuring signal on Metrohm Measuring Instruments?
- L
  Luis McdonaldAug 12, 2025
  If you are not getting a measuring signal or it is very variable on your Metrohm Measuring Instruments, it could be due to a few reasons. First, check if the electrode is properly connected and connect it if it isn't. Second, there might be air in or in front of the diaphragm, which needs to be removed. Finally, the electrode itself might be faulty and needs to be replaced.

What to do if measured value reached slowly on Metrohm Measuring Instruments?
- M
  Maurice WashingtonAug 16, 2025
  If the measured value is reached slowly on your Metrohm Measuring Instruments, the pH or ISE membrane or diaphragm may be dirty. Clean the membrane or diaphragm.

Why is the potential step 'delta U' not reached with standard addition 'auto' on Metrohm Measuring Instruments?
- W
  William FisherAug 21, 2025
  If the potential step 'delta U' is not reached with standard addition 'auto' on your Metrohm Measuring Instruments, the streaming potential of the measuring or reference electrode might be causing a potential difference between the addition in stirred and measurement in unstirred solution. Try lowering the dosing rate, increasing the stirring rate, or increasing 'delta U'. You could also try using 'auto dos' instead of 'auto'.
