AK1002

pH Electrode for Semi-Solid Samples

pH/temperature electrode for food and semi-solid samples such as cheese, creams and cosmetics, with BNC/RCA connector and 1 m cable.

AK1002 pH Electrode for Semi-Solid Samples
2 to 12 pHpH Range

Overview

The AK1002 is a specialised pH and temperature electrode designed for direct measurement in food and semi-solid samples such as cheese, meat, creams, jams and cosmetics. It is built for insertion into soft solids and emulsions that would clog a conventional laboratory electrode, giving reliable readings without sample dilution.

Key features

  • pH and temperature electrode for food and semi-solid samples
  • Suited to cheese, meat, creams, jams and cosmetics
  • Designed for thick, fatty and emulsified samples that clog standard electrodes
  • BNC/RCA connector with 1 m cable
  • Compatible with AKSO portable and bench pH meters

In detail

The electrode connects via a BNC/RCA plug on a 1 metre cable and is compatible with AKSO portable and bench pH meters.

Maintaining your pH electrode

Regular cleaning ensures measurement accuracy and extends electrode life. Follow this procedure periodically.

  1. 1

    Prepare a small beaker with electrode cleaning solution (pepsin)

  2. 2

    Leave the electrode tip immersed in the solution for 30 minutes

  3. 3

    Rinse the electrode in distilled water

  4. 4

    Remove excess water using a soft paper towel

  5. 5

    Store the electrode in KCl 3M potassium chloride solution for 1 hour

  6. 6

    Your tester is now ready for calibration — always use fresh calibration solutions

Important

  • Never leave the electrode in cleaning solution for more than 30 minutes
  • Never use abrasives (brushes, rough paper, etc.) to clean the electrode
