Designed for solid and semi-solid foods like cheese, sushi rice, and yogurt, it offers 3-point auto calibration, auto temperature compensation, and a unique high/low alarm with red backlight. Packaged as a complete kit with calibration solutions and accessories, it’s CE and RoHS certified and built for durability and ease of use. ## Description Apera Instruments PH60S Pocket pH Tester simply measures the pH level of food samplings such as cheese, sushi rice, meat, fruit, milk, yogurt, sauce, and other solid/semi-solid samples like cosmetics, and solid growth media in a reliable and quick manner (Also works great for general water solution's pH measurement). The probe adopts Swiss LabSen sensor technology, featuring a spear glass membrane with a long life reference system (polymer electrolyte), built-in temperature sensor, and a double-junction structure, which makes the probe more durable and have a longer service life . Up to 3 points (4. 00, 7. 00, 10. 01) of auto. calibration with 0 to 50˚C auto. temperature compensation (ATC), 0. 01 pH, 0. 5˚C accuracy with -2. 00 to 16 00 pH range, auto. recognition and reminders of stable values improve reading consistency, saving you the trouble of guessing when to manually hold measurement (auto-hold function available). The product is CE and RoHS certified, and is manufactured under an ISO 9001: 2015 certified quality system. Review: It works, and works well. - I wanted to check the accuracy of the pH sensor our pool had. I also hate using those tester strips which require identifying if the colour is light yellow or pale amber... I mean, really? Plus those strips are calibrated for a specific temperature, so any result you get with them will likely be wrong if your water temp is outside the norm. Anyhow, I hunted around and this seemed to be the one a lot of people recommended. It came in a neat little kit that included everything you needed in a hard shell case - although I'd recommend also buying some extra storage solution as the included amount will not last long. Use is super easy, and it automatically adjusts for temperature. You can also modify the settings so the backlight changes colour if the reading is outside the ideal numbers. I wondered why the case had an empty spot, then I realised that was so you could stand the tester up with the cap filled with storage solution. A really nice touch. If you want to keep it in the case with the lid closed, you just need to remember to store it on the side so there is less chance of leakage from the cap. Keep in mind that if you store it in tap, pool, or distilled water that could damage and permanently impact the accuracy of the tester. They do say that if it is stored dry, then that will also impact the accuracy of the sensor, but this can be fixed by soaking it in storage solution for a few days. Personally, I'd just get the storage solution - it's not expensive, the cap only requires a small amount, and you don't have to replace it after every use so a bottle will last a while. As for accuracy - I don't have a lab quality reference device to test it against, but it definitely appears to be more than accurate enough at least for testing a pool at home. I can't say anything about longevity as I've only had it now for a few weeks, but the sensor is replaceable plus it appears to be well made - so I think it should last well if treated with the care something like this deserves. They do have a newer version of this that has bluetooth and a "new improved sensor". For me this is more than good enough I think, I don't really have any need to track the readings over time, and as much as I am a geek the additional cost didn't really seem to justify it. Overall, very happy with this tester. Review: Nice pH probe at good price, works with NiMH rechargeable batteries - Apera makes a good PH60 pH probe that has a nice display, good accuracy and good repeatability. Kit comes with calibration standards for 4.00, 7.00 and 10.01 pH as well as some KCl probe storage solution so you can use it right away. Overfill the storage cap a bit to keep probe tip covered when storing probe horizontally. This probe seems to work fine on 4 x AAA NiMH rechargeable batteries. ## Features - Swiss spear sensor with Long-life reference system (Replaceable), made for cheese, sushi rice, meat, fruit, milk, yogurt, sauce, and other solid/semi-solid's pH measurement (also works great for general water solutions) - Easy auto. calibration with auto. temperature compensation (ATC) - Unique high/low value alarm function, instantly reminding you of any results that need your attention with a red backlight - Large clear LCD with 3 backlit colors (indicating 3 different modes), dual display of temp. /pH, and indications of completed calibrations and stable readings - Complete test kit with ready-to-use calibration solutions, calibration bottles, storage solutions, AAA batteries, and a lanyard all in a portable carrying case ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 3,478 Reviews | ## Images ![Apera Instruments Premium-Series PH60S Food pH Pocket Tester Kit, Swiss Spear pH Electrode, ±0.01 pH Accuracy, -2.00-16.00 pH Range (AI313) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51VPXQy7TwL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can this be used to check PH in salsa** A: Absolutely. I use it to check the PH levels of my fermented hot sauce for shelf storage safety. **Q: Does this work to test the pH in sourdough and final bread dough?** A: Hello Yes as long as it's the one with the spear tip electrode for easy penetration. Other wise you have to make slurry with a portion of dough and deionized water. Then you can use a normal meter. I have the Water Meter and so far it has been one of the best meters I've had. Better then way more expensive ones I'm not allowed to name here. Hope that helps Denny at www.DMSeeleysTools.com **Q: do you have to recalibrate after swapping probes** A: Yes. It is critical for synchronizing the meter with the probe. **Q: Where is this manufactured/made? Which country?** A: It is made in China. Apera has been focusing on the development of water analysis instruments and sensors since 1991. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works, and works well. *by P***N on September 1, 2021* I wanted to check the accuracy of the pH sensor our pool had.
