TRUEscience electrodes are designed to work in harmony with the smart meter app.
Scan the QR code included in the box when you first start using the electrode to register the electrode to your cap. Using the scanned data the app will automatically remind you when it is due for replacement.
Which pH meter/electrode do I need?...
Making sure you have the right electrode and meter for your application can be confusing, not to mention correct maintenance and what to do if you are having issues. You can find links to our support guides below to help you through the process.
If you are after an electrode selector guide for some of our most popular electrodes and what applications they are recommended for you can find that below.
pH, put simply is a measure of how acidic or basic a solution is. It is a measure of H+ions present.
pH can be measured in a number of ways including test strips, indicator solution or with a pH meter and electrode. If you want to read more about the pH and the pros and cons of these methods, you can check out our introduction guide here.
How to take a pH reading and care for your electrode
pH electrodes require the correct storage and regular calibration.
If you have a pH meter or are looking to purchase and need to find out more about the care and maintenance process then you can read our guide here. We also include a troubleshoot sections with the most reported issues and possible solutions.
Selecting the right electrode and meter for your application
So you have decided you need to purchase a pH meter with electrode, but with such a wide selection out there, how do you know which is right for you?
You can read our guide on the differences between electrodes and what applications different features are good for. We also have an electrode selection guide for some of our most popular electrodes.
If you require any further assistance, or extra information you can request that here and one of our trained technical specialists will be in contact. Please provide as much detail as possible so that we can get back to you with the right information.
Oxidation reduction potential (ORP) otherwise known as a REDOX potential measures an aqueous system’s capacity to either release or accept electrons from chemical reactions. When a system tends to accept electrons it is an oxidizing system. Conversely, when it tends to release electrons, it is a reducing system. Like pH, it is not a measure of a concentration directly, but of an activity level....
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...
Traditional glass pH electrodes are very delicate and need regular care to keep them in good working order. If your electrode has been damaged by exposure to incompatible chemicals such as proteins, heavy metals or sulphides, you may be able to clean and revive it using specialized cleaning solutions...
