Q: Can this unit be used to measure the pH of a cyanide or alkaline (acid) based gold plating solution... ie, would the solutions I'm testing harm the unit? Asked on 11/13/2009 by GlennT from El Paso, Texas Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: being a single junction probe, we do not suggest this simple be used for such complex solutions as it would clog the junction quickly. Please contact our technical application specialists for additional assistance (contact information can be found on the product web page). Answered on 11/17/2009 by Jen from Technical Support

Q: Is the electrode of this product replaceable or not? Asked on 10/22/2009 by ann Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: The probe is not replaceable, you would need to replace the whole unit. Answered on 10/22/2009 by Jen from Technical Support
Q: what is the shelf life of the electrode? what is the part # of replaceable pH Electrode Asked on 10/19/2009 by ann from philippines Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: The shelf life of an unused probe will vary depending on the environment that it is stored in. They may dry out and become slow to respond over time, they should be fine to go without use for several months. The life of a probe that is used constantly should be around 12-18 months.

Q: What maitenance solution is needed? Asked on 10/14/2009 by Anonymous Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: There is not a maintenance solution that is needed, but you do need calibration solutions. Which calibration solutions you need will depend on the range you are testing in. For measurements between 4 and 7, you will need pH 4 and 7 buffered calibration solution. For measurements between 7 and 10, you should use 7 and 10 solutions. If you will over the entire range you may want to purcahse all three. Please contact our technical application specialists for additional assistance (contact information can be found on the product web page). Answered on 10/14/2009 by Jen from Technical Support
Q: Could this meter be used to accurately measure the acidity of home foods in conserve or is it strictly used for liquids? Asked on 10/7/2009 by luisisaza from Medellin. Colombia Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: This can be used with any food that is water based and can cover the probe tip, so it must have some liquid to measure. This is not for use with foods such as cheese or meat. Please contact our technical application specialists for additional assistance (contact information can be found on the product web page).

Q: Can this pocket pH meter be used in buffer prep (for example, adjusting pH of Tris buffer with HCl etc)? Also how long will it last before need to replace sensor (if kept properly)? Asked on 10/6/2009 by Ming Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: We would not recommend this pH meter for use with tris buffers since it has a single-junction electrode. We would recommend a double-junction electrode or electrode with a calomel reference solution. Please see part number 35634-10 for a tester with a double-junction electrode.

Q: What about soil testing ? Asked on 7/21/2009 by Anonymous Know the answer? Answer this question 2 answers A: Generally pH probes, like the one on this unit, need an aqueous environment to take a pH reading. To test the pH of a more solid material you may want ot look into an ISFET meter and probe pH system. Please contact our technical application specialists for additional assistance (contact information can be found on the product web page). Answered on 7/21/2009 by Jen from Technical Support A: You can use a glass pH meter to make measurements of soil, but an established procedure needs to be created. You would take a specific amount of DI water (or distilled) and mix it with a specific weight of dried soil. For example you would mix 50 ml of DI water with 100 grams of soil and mix well. Then you can take the readings. Pure water will not effect the pH drastically. It is important to use the same procedure when comparing samples and results.

Q: Could this meter be used to accurately measure the acidity of sushi rice or is it strictly used for liquids? Asked on 7/17/2009 by Hazel from New York, NY Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: To determine the pH accurately of solid objects I suggest using an ISFET type pH meter and probe. For more information, please type "ISFET" into the search box. Or, for a simple ISFET probe please look at 59541-15. Answered on 7/17/2009 by Jen from Technical Support
Q: Can you use this device to test the pH of blood ? thank you Asked on 7/6/2009 by cc from austin, tx Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: This unit could be used to test blood.
