If a meter has manual temperature compensation, it means a separate device is necessary to record the temperature of the buffers and sample solutions. That temperature is then set on the meter temperature dial, thus “manually compensating” for temperature. A meter with automatic temperature compensation will internally compensate for temperature as long as a temperature probes is connected to the meter. A meter with ATC is much faster to use and ideal when multiple samples are being measured.
