Glass electrode for dairy, high sulphide
samples
Risk of contaminating and blocking the diaphragm is reduced for a ceramic capillary fused in glass - there is no sharp-edged contact with the sample and the electrode is less sensitive to air bubbles
The use of glass capillaries as the diaphragm for pH measurement in strongly contaminated samples has proven itself for years in the Porotrode, says Metrohm Typical applications are pH measurement in diary products or solutions with high sulphide content

This range of electrodes is designed to combat the various measurement challenges presented by meats, cheeses, fruits, conserves, creams, solids, and other protein rich products
The new Porotrode is equipped with two ceramic capillaries and has the advantages of a plastic free electrode: it is resistant to aggressive organic solvents (such as ketones, aldehydes, ethers, CFCs, etc).
The risk of contaminating and blocking the diaphragm is greatly reduced for a ceramic capillary fused in glass.
There is no sharp-edged contact with the sample matrix and the electrode is less sensitive to air bubbles.
The use of two capillaries reduces the risk of the electrode failing to function.
It will continue to work even if one of the capillaries is blocked completely.
The position of the capillary diaphragm as well as its shape reduces the dependency of the measured pH value on the stirring speed.
This means that the Porotrode can also be used for titrations in strongly contaminated solutions. Request a free brochure from Metrohm UK ...
