Hanna Instruments FC911B pH Electrode with Amplifier for Creams/Juices/Sauces, BNC Connector, 0 - 13 pH

The Hanna Instruments FC 911B is a food-specific pH electrode for creams, juices, and sauces with a single ceramic junction, nontoxic polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) body, spherical tip, internal amplifier, Bayonet Neill-Concelman (BNC) connector, and 1m (3.3') coaxial cable. A pH electrode is commonly attached to a pH meter to measure the pH of a substance such as water, food, beer, or wine in lab, industrial, and food applications. The single ceramic junction of this electrode provides long electrode life in harsh environments. The 110mm high PVDF body with 12mm outside diameter and 7.5mm spherical tip is nontoxic for compatibility with food. An internal amplifier provides a strong low impedance signal from the electrode to the metering system. The electrode is refillable to prolong electrode life. A BNC connector provides tight cable connections. The electrode comes with a 1m (3.3') coaxial cable.

Specifications

An electrode, also called a sensor or probe, is an instrument used with a meter to test and measure parameters of a substance. All electrodes are probes or sensors, but not all probes are electrodes or sensors. Probes, such as temperature probes, are used to penetrate a material for measurement. Common electrode types are pH, total dissolved solid (TDS), and ion selective electrode (ISE). Electrodes can be half-cell or full-cell (also called combination) types. They can be refillable or non-refillable. Housing material is typically glass or epoxy, and sensors are commonly made with stainless steel or a glass bulb. pH electrodes, which measure the pH of a substance, often have a glass bulb. The bulb senses hydrogen ions, and generates a millivoltage that is picked up by the filling solution and transferred to a wire that connects to the pH meter. Ion selective electrodes (ISEs) respond selectively to ions in the presence of other ions. Electrodes are commonly used by researchers, manufacturers, and hobbyists in a wide variety of industries, such as aquaculture, agriculture, chemistry, food and beverage, wine-making and water-testing, and for scientific applications. An electrode can be used with a datalogger to assist in temperature measurement.

Hanna Instruments manufactures analytical instrumentation and supplies, including pH meters, electrodes, chemical reagents, and buffer solutions. The company, founded in 1978 and headquartered in Woonsocket, RI, meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001.
