The selection of the buffer solutions is important to ensure the

Dual amplifier system
The input amplifiers both have a very high input impedance
(≥ 1013 Ω). This means the PH202 is capable of accepting glass,
enamel and metal measuring- and reference sensors. Together
with the ability to configure the ITP (isothermal point), the system
can be adapted to accept almost all sensor types. MΩ kΩ
