pH/Ion, DO & Conductivitate

• User experience: Look for user-friendly features like clear displays, data logging, or connectivity.
• Multi-parameter capabilities: If needed, consider meters that also measure conductivity, dissolved oxygen (DO), or other parameters – especially useful for environmental monitoring.
• Maintenance & accessories: Check for availability of storage solutions (e.g., KCl solution, buffers) and replacement electrodes.
• Warranty: Choose a reputable brand for long-term reliability. At Metrohm, every instrument comes with a 3-year warranty for lasting confidence.

pH is a temperature-depended measurement. This means the sample’s temperature directly affects the accuracy of the reading. A correct pH measurement always includes the temperature of the sample.

For precise calibration, temperature must be factored into the calculation. Modern pH meters use electrodes with built-in temperature sensors, which automatically perform this compensation.

For trouble-free pH measurements, it is best to use a combined pH electrode with a built-in PT1000, as this is the industry standard.
