TRUEscience launched their brand new Smart Bluetooth pH meter at Lab Innovations in November with their brilliant Milli Vault mini museum experience. If you attended you couldn’t fail to notice the stand, with its black bank vault trimmed with a huge vault door, welcoming visitors to the experience the “Milli-Vault”. Check out the video here. Using interactive exhibits visitors were able ...
We were excited to hear about the logging capabilities of the The system works by the pH smart cap taking the pH and temperature readings and relaying this to an android device. The App on the device expands measuring capabilities, connecting to the cloud and allowing the creation more enriched readings. Add images, attach GPS location, write notes and organise readings into jobs, the TRUEs...
We get many people coming to us asking why their pH meter isn't working and in a lot of cases it ends up to be their pH electrode that is damaged. It's not hard to damage electrodes, they are very sensitive and will break if it gets exposed to the wrong substances or not stored correctly. One of the substances to be careful with are any substances containing protein. Proteins will often ...
You will find there are a lot of different models of pH meter ranging from simple pen devices to high end bench top meters and not to mention the large choice of electrodes to choose from. Here's an overview of what you need to know about pH: What is pH? pH meters measure the degree of acidity or basicity of a solution which is proportional to the amount of Hydrogen ions there are in ...
Tris (Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane) or THAM is an organic compound used as a component of buffer solutions, especially for solutions of nucleic acids. It has a temperature dependent pH between 7.2-9 which mimics the typical physiological pH of most living organisms, it also does not react with inhibiting enzymes, making it a common buffer in biochemical, microbiological and pharmaceutical la...
There's so many to choose from! Camlab have a large range of pH electrodes each varying in terms of the internal junction, shape of the tip and the materials used. Everything from apple juice to heavy metals to cheese! There is an electrode to suit testing the pH of any particular sample. For a quick glance, check out our pH electrode selection guide which gives a great overview of the e...
Traditional glass pH electrodes are very delicate and need regular care to keep them in good working order. If your electrode has been damaged by exposure to incompatible chemicals such as proteins, heavy metals or sulphides, you may be able to clean and revive it using specialized cleaning solutions...
