Hanna-HI 2221-02 Table Top Ph / Orp / Temperature Meter

A properly manufactured and maintained pH electrode will retain its measuring integrity for a long time. As a result of many factors such as age, poor maintenance or improper handling, any electrode in time will lose its integrity. The most common cause for pH measurement inaccuracies is an unclean or improperly cleaned electrode. This is very important to note, because during calibration, the instrument assumes that the electrode is clean and that the standardisation curve created during the calibration process will remain a valid reference until the next calibration.

Dirty electrode or incorrect calibration approach can contribute to buffer solution contamination. Contaminated buffer solution is considered a reference only, which may pose a major problem during calibration.

The HI-2221-02 is a pH bench top meter features our exclusive Calibration Check diagnostics for both pH electrodes and buffer solutions during calibration. This instrument compares the characteristics of the pH electrode from one calibration to the next. In the case of large variances in the electrode condition, it alerts the user that the electrode needs to be properly cleaned prior to calibration and measuring.
