 An introduction to pH What do the different electrode types mean?

pH is a measurement of the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in a There are a variety of different types of electrode available to fit different
substance. The scale it is measured on runs from 0 to 14. applications. Electrodes may have any combination of these features to make
them suitable for specific samples.
A reading of 7 is neutral, below this is acidic and above this is alkaline
or basic. Double Junction – these electrodes have an additional salt bridge to prevent
reactions between the electrode fill solution and your sample which would
otherwise cause damage to the electrode junction. They are required to test

Adapter Cables
Flat – the end of these electrodes is perfectly flat so a reading can be taken
An adapter cable will allow you to use an electrode with a BNC
from the surface of a solid sample. These may be used for measuring fabrics,
connection on a meter that requires a DIN connection;
biological tissues or pastes.

Spear Tip – the pointed tip of these electrodes mean you can pierce solid
Electrode Care and Maintenance samples to take a reading. Typical applications include meat, cheese or soil.

Between uses your electrode should be stored in a 3.0M KCl EpoxyToughTM – these electrodes are filled with gel rather than traditional
(potassium chloride) solution. An electrode storage bottle will help liquid filled models, so you do not need to refill them.
ensure that the electrode tip is not damaged and that the solution
doesn’t evaporate over time. Micro – this small, slim electrode means that you can test when you have only
a small amount of sample, or your sample is in a small container.
