Hanna Instruments FC2023 General purpose food electrode
Ideal for testing pH in semi-solids and emulsions, plus meat, cheese, yogurt and milk, fruits, ham and sausages.
Food products can provide a number of challenges for the person that needs to measure pH. Food products tend to be solid, semi-solid or as a slurry with a high content of solids. All types of samples will coat the sensitive glass membrane surface and/or clog the reference junction.
The FC2023 used with the HI-98161 & HI-99161 is designed specifically for measuring pH in food. It has a conic tip shape for easy penetration, open junction that resist clogging, and a Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) food grade plastic body that is resistant to most chemicals and solvents, including sodium hypochlorite.
It has high abrasion resistance, mechanical strength and resistance to ultraviolet and nuclear radiation. PVDF is also resistant to fungal growth.
The FC2023 is an ideal general-purpose pH electrode for food products that connects to the HI-98161 & HI-99161 with a quick-connect, waterproof DIN connector, allowing for a secure, non-threaded attachment.
