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.

AK1003 pH Electrode for Meat and Carcasses
0 to 14 pHpH Range

Overview

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.

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
