As the Ultrapure Type 1 water is exposed to the air, it rapidly picks up contaminants that affect its pH, and it has a low conductance. This causes instability in most pH meters, except for the pH meter that is specifically designed to work in ultra-pure water. Since the concentration of hydrogen ions in the water affects both pH and resistivity, the pH must lie within certain limits for a given resistivity reading. The pH of ultra-pure water can drop to 4.5 as it absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, but this does not mean that the water is contaminated. Simply picking up some ppm of CO2 from the air will cause the pH to fall.
* Researchers must understand that all Ultrapure water Type 1 in the market has low pH (not pH adjusted), and when using it, the final pH of the mixed solution may not be physiological pH 7.4. DiagnoCine provides NaOH pH-adjusted (pH 7.4) and non-pH-adjusted (pH 4.5-5) Ultrapure Type 1 water.
