  • Dirty or viscous samples can be easily measured without a clogged junction
  • Compatible with samples containing organic compounds, proteins, heavy metals, and other compounds that react with silver such as bromides, iodides, cyanides, and sulfides
  • Silver chloride sure-flow electrodes can be used on tough samples that do not require a double junction electrode to prevent contact with silver

pH electrode types

Standard size

  • 12 mm electrode diameter for use in a wide variety of sample sizes
  • Accurate, chemically compatible, and fast response are all characteristics of the standard-sized glass bulbs
  • A variety of junctions available from Sure-flow to low-maintenance junctions
Semi-micro

Field Use or Plant Samples

The atmosphere you work in calls for rugged design that ensures accuracy in harsh environments, as precision in real-time sample testing crucial. pH electrodes recommended for field use and plant samples should have an epoxy body for added durability and be polymer or gel filled for easy maintenance.

Use pH electrodes for field use and plant samples for water (lakes, ponds, streams, rivers, etc.), wastewater, food manufacturing, cosmetics, pulp and paper, petrochemicals, and more.

pH Buffers and Solutions

Using high-quality solutions to calibrate and maintain your sensors is the best way to ensure your data is both accurate and reproducible. When choosing buffers and solutions for pH measurement, pay attention to the quality of the water and chemicals used. Use USP grade water whenever possible.

Avoid using low-quality, reconstituted, or expired buffers. These can lead to measurement errors, which require lengthy troubleshooting, or may go unnoticed. Our bottles of buffers have a safety seal to eliminate leaking during shipment and as a tamper-proof measure.
