pH Electrode for Meat and Carcasses
Combined pH and temperature electrode with a stainless-steel knife for direct measurement in meat and carcasses, BNC/RCA, 1 m cable.
The AK1003 is a combined pH electrode designed for measurements on meat and carcasses, with an epoxy body, stainless steel knife and integrated temperature sensor. Its robust, specialized construction is ideal for obtaining accurate pH readings in muscle tissues, essential for ensuring the quality and safety of meat products. Always insert the electrode 2 to 3 centimeters into the muscle tissue. This depth helps prevent surface contamination and ensures accurate pH readings. Keep the electrode free of contaminants such as blood or debris by thoroughly cleaning it before and after each use to ensure accurate measurements.
The AK1003’s specialized design and correct use ensure reliable pH measurements, essential for monitoring meat quality and compliance with food safety standards.

Regular cleaning ensures measurement accuracy and extends electrode life. Follow this procedure periodically.
Prepare a small beaker with electrode cleaning solution (pepsin)
Leave the electrode tip immersed in the solution for 30 minutes
Rinse the electrode in distilled water
Remove excess water using a soft paper towel
Store the electrode in KCl 3M potassium chloride solution for 1 hour
Your tester is now ready for calibration — always use fresh calibration solutions
