The Apera Instruments PH8500-FT is a reliable and user-friendly meter for measuring pH, ORP (with an optional electrode, such as the 301Pt-C), and temperature. Designed for specialized applications, it features the LabSen® 373 pH electrode, ideal for accurate measurements on smooth surfaces like skin, paper, leather, fabric, and textiles.
The LabSen® 373 electrode is equipped with a flat glass membrane and a durable polyoxymethylene (POM) sheath, providing corrosion resistance and impact protection. Its integrated temperature sensor allows for simultaneous pH and temperature readings, enabling automatic temperature compensation (ATC).
Durably constructed, the PH8500-FT features a silicone cover for shock protection and is waterproof and dustproof (IP57), making it suitable for use in demanding environments. Additional features include:
- Specialized Electrode: The LabSen® 373 ensures precise surface measurements for various materials.
- Rugged Design: A silicone case enhances grip and shields the device from impacts.
- Field-Ready Protection: Rated IP57 for water and dust resistance, ideal for harsh field conditions.
- Convenient Indoor Use: Includes a fold-out stand for stable operation during lab work.
- Effortless Calibration: Supports quick 1- to 3-point calibration for accurate results.
- Clear Display: A large, backlit LCD shows pH, temperature, and calibration details simultaneously.
- Data Management: GLP-compliant memory stores up to 500 data groups, with USB connectivity for data transfer and real-time logging.
- Self-Diagnosis: Built-in diagnostics facilitate calibration and troubleshooting.
- Certified Quality: RoHS and EC certified, backed by a 3-year warranty (6 months for the electrode).
The PH8500-FT combines precision, durability, and advanced functionality, making it an essential tool for professionals conducting surface pH measurements in both field and laboratory settings.
