- NEW-IMPROVED-super-miniature, super fast
coated wire pH electrodes
- 100-micron
diameter - ideal for monitoring fast pH changes in
very small places
A
solid state pH sensor with ideal characteristics over a
wide pH range. Exhibits a larger Eo than conventional
glass electrodes. Requires a separate reference electrode
such as WPI's Dri-Ref Series. Beetrodes (except the NMPH2)
connect to your pH meter via a BNC-terminated cable.
Beetrodes generate mV readings on standard pH meters. To
obtain pH-scale readings on standard pH meters, use BEE-CAL™,
a small, battery-operated compensator (AA battery
included) that adjusts the electrode offset potential so
that Beetrodes will produce standard pH-scale readings. (NMPH2B
