Description
Buffer solution pH 8.0 R1 is a specialised analytical reagent prepared to Reag. Ph. Eur. 4.1.3 for laboratories that require a defined pH 8.0 R1 reference. Offered in a 1 l plastic pack with a density of about 1 g/cm³, it supports calibration, titration assistance and pharmacopoeial test procedures in pharmaceutical and general analytical environments. The R1 designation distinguishes this buffer within the Ph. Eur. 4.1.3 series for applications that specifically call for the R1 composition. From manufacturer Carl ROTH, the solution is aimed at quality-control and research teams that prefer a ready-made buffer over self-prepared standards. The one-litre format is practical for routine bench work and shared laboratory inventory, and the density near 1 g/cm³ eases handling and volume measurement. Positioned among special buffer solutions and analytical chemicals, it fits workflows that must follow European Pharmacopoeia monographs. Select this pH 8.0 R1 buffer when a catalogue-specified, Ph. Eur.-aligned alkaline reference is needed for reproducible results.
This article is part of pH buffers & conductivity standards, in Buffers & pH solutions.

Questions about Buffer solution pH 8.0 R1
What is this article?
Buffer solution pH 8.0 R1 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in pH buffers & conductivity standards, inside Buffers & pH solutions, in Lab chemicals.
A pH buffer for calibration has a stated pH at a stated temperature, often traceable. A conductivity standard has a stated conductivity. They are not general reagents and they should not be poured back into the bottle. The temperature of the measurement has to be the temperature on the label, or the meter has to compensate.
A buffer resists a change in pH when a little acid or base is added. It does that because a weak acid and its conjugate base are both present. A pH buffer used to calibrate a meter has a stated value at a stated temperature. A biological buffer such as Tris or HEPES is chosen because it holds the pH of a living system and does not poison it. Conductivity standards are the sister articles for a conductivity meter. The ions are on PubChem. Electrode calibration practice sits with EURAMET and BELAC.
