DURACAL buffers are guaranteed to be stable for 5 years from the date of production.

Conventional pH buffers change their pH value due to air diffusion during storage and use. Duracal buffers do not change their pH value during storage or use. The unique dosing bottle allows sensor calibration in the bottle without reservoir contamination.

The addition of buffer preservatives prevents contamination by bacteria and fungi while retaining high buffer capacity for fast stable calibrations.

• Certified traceable to N.I.S.T.
• Easy-to-use CALPACK™ dosing bottle allows sensor calibration
• Economical since only the quantity required for calibration is dispensed from the CALPACK bottle
• Guaranteed 5 year pH buffer lifetime
• For automatic buffer recognition:
  simply use IEC 746/Technical Buffer

Can you trust your buffer solution?
A complete range of patented buffer solutions provides never before possible pH stability. Hamilton guarantees DURACAL pH buffers for 5 years after the date of manufacture. The pH 9,21 and pH 10.01 buffers are even stable in air. See Figure 2 below. High buffering capacity provides stable calibration. Preservatives are added to prevent microbial and mold growth.

Traceability
An important issue for the production of Certified Reference Material is to ensure the traceability through an unbroken chain of comparisons to reference material of the highest metrological quality (Primary Reference Material).

Closed Loop Traceability
Unlike other manufacturers where only a top-down traceability is applied, Hamilton is working with a circular or closed loop traceability. The closed loop traceability ensures the users of Hamilton DURACAL buffers a unique reliability.

Top-Down Traceability
At Hamilton the pH value of DURACL buffers is determined by comparison against two Secondary Reference Buffer Solutions. These are purchased from accredited suppliers for Secondary Reference Materials. The solutions themselves are compared against Primary Reference Solutions from PTB or N.I.S.T..

Bottom-Up Traceability
To ensure the highest possible accuracy and full reliability of the pH value, a representative number of samples from every single production lot are sent to a German DKD laboratory (DKD-K-06901) for an external, independent impartial verification. In this laboratory, the DURACAL samples are compared against Secondary Reference Solutions from DKD-K-06901. The Secondary Reference Solutions are of course compared against Primary Reference Solutions from PTB. At this stage the loop is closed: the PTB Primary Reference Solution is the starting and ending point of the traceability loop. DKD provides Hamilton with a calibration certificate for every DUACAL production lot.
