The HI-981032 is a purpose-built pH tester designed to suit the consistency of a range of food items, including almost all types of cheeses and curds in addition to other foods such as sushi rice. While ‘cheese’ is written on this pH tester, the conical design of the electrode makes the HI-981032 a recommended, widely-used solution for directly testing the pH of rice used in sushi. An open junction resists clogging from solids, while a PVDF plastic body allows for easy cleaning with sodium hypochlorite.

• Range of 0.0 to 12.00pH and a resolution of 0.01pH with accuracy at ±0.05pH @ 25°C
• Calibration is automatic at one or two-point
• Built-in probe
• Approximate battery life of 1000 hours of continuous use and has an auto-off feature enabled after 8 or 60 minutes
• Liquid crystal display
• For best results, operate in 0 to 50°C, RH 95% max environment.
• Shipped with a protective cap on the electrode with storage solution to prevent the electrode from drying out in transit
• Conical-shaped tip allows for penetration in food products with liquid and loose solids
• Open junction design consists of a solid gel interface (viscolene) between the sample and internal Ag/AgCl reference, this interface prevents silver from entering the sample, making it impermeable to clogging
• PVDF body is a food-grade plastic that is resistant to most chemicals and solvents, including sodium hypochlorite, this material has high abrasion resistance, mechanical strength, and resistance to ultraviolet
• PVDF is also resistant to fungal growth, providing a sanitary surface for testing food products
• Supplied with 2 x pH 4.01 buffer solution liquid sachet, 2 x pH 7.01 buffer solution liquid sachet, 2 x cleaning solution sachets for cheese deposits, 13mL dropper electrode storage solution, instruction manual, and quality certificate
