"A apple a day keeps the technician away."

Foxcroft developed the use of white distilled vinegar in chlorine analyzers.

In 1980 Foxcroft had a goal to manufacture the best chlorine analyzer in the market. But there was a problem - that of the buffer solution. A buffer is required to properly maintain the pH level in the measuring cell. Without maintaining the proper pH, chlorine can not be measured. All analyzer manufacturers at that time used Glacial Acetic Acid as a buffer - both expensive and very hazardous. We needed another answer. What to do? Think simple! We looked up acidic acid in an ordinary dictionary and the words that jumped out at us were white distilled vinegar. So we called a manufacturer of white distilled vinegar and a new idea was born. Today the use of white distilled vinegar as a buffer solution is used worldwide. So the next time you change that bottle of white distilled vinegar on an analyzer just think of where it was developed. The next time you need the answer to an operating problem or simply a better way....call Foxcroft for an innovative solution.
