The calibration of cation-selective electrodes has been facilitated by the use of ion buffers. Hitherto, calibration was made using solutions containing the metal ion and an appropriate complexing ligand, such as EDTA in an appropriate concentration ratio, or by changing the pH value of a solution with fixed metal-ligand concentration. To cover a wide calibration range, say from 10 -7 to 10 -3 m [Ca 2+ ], standard solutions involving at least two different ligands had to be prepared. These approaches were both cumbersome and lacked precision in the unbuffered region near the equivalence point of titration of ligand with metal ions.
