It is the effective concentration of H + and OH – that determines the pH and pOH. At very high concentrations (10 M hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide, for example,) a significant fraction of the ions will be associated into neutral pairs such as H +Cl –, thus reducing the concentration of “available” ions to a smaller value which we will call the effective concentration. This is a reasonably accurate definition at low concentrations (the dilute limit) of H +. Use of buffered water at the correct pH (7.2) to dilute the stock stain solution helps to ensure good staining and ensures recognition of the specific features of malaria parasites. When measuring pH, is in units of moles of H + per liter of solution. The historical definition of pH is correct for those solutions that are so dilute and so pure the H + ions are not influenced by anything but the solvent molecules (usually water). The identity of these solutions vary from one authority to another, but all give the same values of pH to ± 0.005 pH unit. Meets United States Pharmacopeia (USP), European Pharma-copoeia (EP) and Japanese Pharmacopoeia (JP)1-3 performance specifications, where applicable. The activity of the H + ion is determined as accurately as possible for the standard solutions used. Phosphate Buffer, pH 7.2 is used for the preparation of dilution blanks for use in the examination of waters, dairy products, foods and other materials. PBS (phosphate-buffered saline) is a balanced salt solution used for a variety of biological and cell culture applications, such as washing cells before.
