PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT
LOW MAINTENANCE MEASUREMENTS
NEW pH METER REQUIRES NO CALIBRATION
Users can look forward to the launch of the world’s first calibration-free pH meter at this year’s Pittcon conference and expo in Philadelphia—Senova System’s pHit Scanner.
The meter’s new technology platform incorporates an advanced sensor and electronics into a novel product design, eliminating glass electrodes and enhancing usability compared to traditional pH meters, the company said.
“Senova System’s pHit sensor platform represents the most significant technology breakthrough in pH measurement in over 70 years,” said Lee Leonard, CEO of Senova Systems. “With its strong usability and cost-of-ownership advantages, the pHit Scanner resolves many longstanding problems and we expect that it will be a ‘game-changer’ in pH measurement.”
pH is one of the most widely measured properties in a range of industries including food and beverage, pharmaceutical, medical, chemical, soil and water testing and academic research.
As well as being calibration free, the new pH meter is also nearly maintenance-free as it can be stored dry and its glass-free design eliminates the threat of broken pH electrodes. The solid-state sensor also reduces signal drift for more accurate and reliable measurement.
Measurement data from the pHit Scanner can be transmitted via USB or Bluetooth and viewed, manipulated, and exported using Senova System’s pHit Reports software. The pHit Scanner can also be operated using a single button and features an easy-to-read LCD screen.
Though Senova Systems began shipping the pHit Scanner to Early Access Program customers in December, it will be available for purchase and shipment to most North American customers during the first quarter of 2013.
