Laboratory pH Electrodes
Use laboratory electrodes with pH meters to intermittently test the pH of a solution.
Electrodes feature glass or epoxy bodies and come in either combination or half-cell styles. Laboratory electrodes are further categorized according to fermentation, general purpose laboratory,Specialty, and ion-selective applications.
Fermentation electrodes resemble Industrial electrodes because they can be used continuously for several days. Fermentation electrodes are rugged, can be hooked up to some pH controllers, and are either autoclavable or in-situ-sterilizable.
Beckman Coulter offers Nitrate, Flouride, Ammonia Gas Sensing, Chloride, Ammonium Ion-selective electrodes.
There are a multitude of electrodes for your specific application. Here is a table to assist you in selecting the correct electrode for the correct application.
