H-2 Hardness (Total) Buffer

Uses

• Water hardness analysis: ensures correct pH (~10) for accurate complexation of Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ with EDTA

• Laboratory testing in water treatment plants, industrial facilities, and environmental labs

• Quality control: works in combination with hardness titrants and indicators (e.g., Eriochrome Black T)

Key Features

• Pre-formulated buffer for consistent results

• Maintains stable alkaline conditions during titration

• Enhances accuracy of calcium and magnesium ion determination

• Easy-to-use reagent for both field and laboratory settings
