Whats the best way to adjust the pH of a mobile phase?
Arguably, the best way is not to attempt to adjust pH at all, but rather to prepare the mobile phase by weight. Weighing is much more precise (a 20% error in weighing translates to only a 0.1 unit error in pH). You can find an on-line calculator for buffers here (http://www.bi.umist.ac.uk/users/mjfrbn/buffers/makebuf.
