In the food industry, pH monitoring may be required during the production or pre-production process for a number of reasons including for microbe monitoring and taste purposes. In baking and bread-making there are a number of reasons why you would wish to know the pH - having a low pH in sourdough inhibits growth of pathogenic bacteria and in bread dough pH control agents (preservatives) may be...

Many pH meters also have a separate reading range which gives results in mV. This can be used for a range of applications.
1.) Checking your pH electrode calibration. Most meters automate the calibration of pH which makes it simple to perform and ensures consistency in results. However, when issues ar...
Ben studied Oenology and Viticulture at Plumpton college and now with his wife Hannah run Flint Vineyard in the beautiful Norfolk countryside. Throughout the wine production process the pH is tested; from measuring the grapes to decide when they are ready to ...
If not prepared properly there is a potential risk that sushi rice will develop bacteria, parasites, and viruses harmful to human health. One of the aspects that must be measured and controlled in preparation of sushi is the rice pH. If the rice has a pH less than 4.5 this will prevent bacteria growth and toxin production. This pH is lowered by the addition of vinegar and salt. ...
One of the key user frustrations the TRUEscience team came across whilst developing the TRUEscience pH meter was how cluttered it was to have wires going across the lab bench from the meter to electrode and another for the temperature probe. Not only untidy, but you have to hold both of these in the sample at the same time as well as taking a reading on the meter with the other. TRUEscience ...
The TRUEscience team have had years of experience in supporting users of traditional pH meters. During this time they saw all the frustrations that people have when using these meters - unclear buttons, difficult interfaces, trouble saving and retrieving results. They wanted to create a new and unique way of measuring pH that makes the test quick and simple while still retaining a high level...
Testing pH in milk and dairy products is key to detecting impurities and signs of infection both upon collection of milk at the point of delivery. In the sterilization process, checking the pH is important as the lower the pH the faster the process will be. However, lower pH values in milk may also indicate that the cattle producing it may carry an infection.

pH meters are wonderful devices until they go wrong. You are then left with your sample sitting on the bench and in some instances, not knowing what is wrong. The following questions and answers are designed to help you diagnose the problem.
My pH meter won't give a fixed reading – is drifting or providing erratic...
One of the golden rules to pH measurement is to routinely calibrate your pH meter before measuring any samples. pH buffers have a known pH value, most commonly 4, 7 and 10. Calibration with these buffers gives the meter reference points to use whilst measuring the pH of other samples. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0t240gykR_I The TRUEscience SMART cap system uses a bluetooth signal t...
Brine is used in canned foods to inhibit the growth of food poisoning organisms like Clostridium botulinum, the most heat resistant of all pathogens.
Clostridium botulinum can flourish in badly prepared canned foods and cause severe illness and even death. The seals on cans provides an oxygen free environment that will allow C.botulinum spores to grow in high acid foods with pH greater than ...
pH electrodes have many options to choose from;Â tip shape, junction type, shaft material and fill solution. A key difference is whether the electrode has a single or double junction.
How do electrodes work?
Combination electrodes work by having a sensing half-cell (AgCl covered silver wire) and a reference half-cell (Ag/AgCl reference electrode wire), these two components must be joined ...
Thanks for sharing such a great information.. It really helpful to me.. I always search to read the quality content and finally i found this in you post. keep it up!
I came across your article about "DPD Tablets" on Camlab Info, and it's a valuable resource for anyone seeking information about water testing and analysis using DPD tablets. Your explanation of their usage and significance in water quality monitoring is quite informative.
This article on nanocolor tube tests is a gem for analytical enthusiasts. The idea of zero calibration is intriguing, and your detailed explanation makes it accessible. The step-by-step process helps demystify the technique for beginners like me. The use cases you've highlighted, particularly in...
Grant have introduced the new Controlled Rate Freeze Thaw (CRFT), which is a liquid nitrogen and cryogen free controlled rate freeze and thaw system for cryopreservation in a wide range of applications. Cryopreservation is a process where biological materials such as cells, tissues...
A dipslide is a means of testing the microbial content of liquids. This is a common method of monitoring and measuring microbial activity within many systems and commonly cooling systems. Usually the use of a dipslide is the first line of defence for the testing of microbial issues that could be...
Purchasing items using donated funds without the burden of VAT will now save many Millions of pounds each year which can be put to better use in advancing scientific knowledge to provide new treatments and cures that will shape the medicines of the future.
Working with pressure/vacuum conditions in the lab is common but not all products are designed to withstand this. Products with appropriate geometry and wall thickness are suitable for working safely with pressure. For example, filtering flasks, desiccators, or flat flange vessels, as well as...
