The device boasts easy auto-calibration with buffer recognition, a large backlit LCD with dual pH/temperature display, and a heads-up alert system for critical readings. Packaged as a complete kit with calibration and storage solutions, batteries, and a durable carrying case, it’s designed for professionals demanding precision, versatility, and convenience in the field.

## Description

From the manufacturer PH60F Premium Pocket pH Tester for Skin and Surface pH Testing Three types of coloured backlit LCD screen Blue for measurement mode. Green for calibration mode. Red for High/Low value heads-up mode, instantly notifying you of any test results that need your attention by lighting up Red backlight. Fluid precision since 1991. The Apera Instruments PH60F Premium Pocket pH Tester (-2.00 - 16.00 pH range, ±0.01 pH accuracy) is designed for providing reliable and accurate measurements for flat surface pH testing, such as skin, paper, fabrics, leather, and etc. It also works well for micro sample testing (ideal for saliva pH test) and regular water solution testing. Easy auto calibration with auto buffer recognition (up to 3-point); Auto temperature compensation (ATC 0 - 50˚C). Easy-to-install replaceable flat pH probe (4 types of compatible probes for your specific testing needs). Comes with complete test kit. Large Clear LCD with and 180˚ viewing angle, 3 backlit colour, Dual display of temp./pH, and indications of completed calibrations and stable readings. Auto recognition of stable values (with optional auto hold function) improves consistency, saving the trouble of guessing when to manually hold measurement. Durable design Waterproof and Dustproof to IP67 standards. Easy-to-install replaceable probe Can be installed easily. Up to 2000 hours of operation powered by AAA batteries **Installation: All 4 pieces of batteries' positive sides (+) Must face up. Large clear backlit LCD Dual display of pH & Temp., and icons indicating stable readings and completed calibrations. Flat Glass Sensor (PH60F-E) This PH60F-E flat pH sensor (comes with the kit) is compatible with model PH60, PH60F, PH60S& PC60. This probe features a flat glass membrane sensor with a built-in temperature sensor and maintenance-free gel KCl electrolyte, made for flat surface pH testing such as skin, fabrics, paper, leather, and micro-volume solution samples (ideal for saliva pH test). Also works well for regular aqueous solution testing. It has a measurement range of 0 to 14.00 pH. Swiss Spear Sensor (PH60S-E) This PH60S-E Spera pH Sensor (sold separately) is compatible with PH60, PH60F, PH60S& PC60. The probe is designed for testing cheese, meat, fruit, bread, soil, sushi-rice, solid growth medium, and other solid/semi-solid samples. This probe adopts Swiss sensor technology, featuring a spear glass membrane with a long life reference system, built-in temperature sensor, and a double junction structure without diaphragm. Also works well for regular water solution testing. It has a measurement range of 0.00 to 14.00 pH. Glass Bulb Sensor (PH60-E) This PH60-E glass bulb sensor (sold separately) is compatible with PH60, PH60F, PH60S & PC60. This probe is equipped with glass bulb membrane, built-in temperature sensor, single ceramic junction, and maintenance-free gel KCL electrolyte. It has a measurement range of 0 to 14.00 pH. It is made for regular aqueous solution's pH measurement, such as hydroponics, aquaculture, pool and spas, water treatment, environmental monitoring, cooling tower, etc. Platinum ORP Sensor (ORP60-E) This ORP60-E ORP probe (sold separately) is ompatible with PH60, PH60F, PH60S& ORP60. This probe features a platinum ORP sensor with a built-in temperature sensor and maintenance-free gel KCl electrolyte. Designed for regular water solution's ORP testing (Oxidation-Reduction Potential).

Review: Quite expensive, but worth it - I use a ph meter for plant nutrient solution. Previously, I had a couple of cheap China imports, which seemed reasonably accurate for a while, but don't last long. All ph probes degrade over time, so rather than keep buying cheap, I decided to get a more reliable one with a replaceable probe. This is quite expensive compared to some other brands with good reviews, say the Essentials PH Meter, and @ £29 the replacement probe is not much cheaper than buying a new Essentials meter. However, replacing just the probe reduces waste, and gives you options: there are 4 compatible probe types (all available on desertcart), which you can buy separately as replacements, or to measure different substances. The glass bulb is for liquids, the spear probe for solids, such as foods, soil, the flat probe for paper, cloth, skin etc. And you can buy an ORP (Oxygen Reduction Potential) probe to use with this meter, which tells you the "killing power" of your solution/water (sterilising or not, a simplification of complex subject). The life of the probe will depend on how often you use it, and how you treat it. The probe is supposed to last 12 - 24 months - it's CE rated for 6 months (for safe use), but that's NOT its life expectancy. It CAN be stored dry, without degrading it, according to instructions, but storing it dry will affect its sensitivity. So if you store it dry, for accuracy, you need to soak it in the provided solution before use. It can be stored in the soaking solution, but NOT in purified water. The kit comes with everything you need: soaking solution, 2 calibration solutions, batteries, lanyard (quite a long one), 2 containers for calibration, instruction manuals in English and German, as well as a laminated quick reference chart, all in a hard plastic case. The instructions are clear, easy to understand, and contain all relevant info. Instructions say not to use soaking/storage solutions from other companies, but as long as the same (potassium chloride or kcl @ 3 molar strength) and/or for the same type of ph meter, I don't see why. Will be ignoring that myself (no Apera replacements on desertcart, either). The calibration solutions will last quite a while, the soaking solution is enough to fill the cap to the mark about twice. 2 reviews for the replacement probe said the glass bulb was too exposed and breaks easily. I disagree - the bulb is inside and above the plastic rim, which does have gaps in the side, but doubt it would break if dropped on flat surface. IP67 means it's dust proof, and can be immersed in up to 1 m of water, or for up to 30 mins, depending on info source. It doesn't mean it's hermetically sealed, though. Overall, the meter seems robust, and looks like it will stand up well to any normal use. So far, would recommend, despite quite high price, as seems well worth it, all things considered. Edit: Have been using this for 6 years now, about once per week, and it still works fine. Have not calibrated it in a while, but it seems to be accurate enough for my purposes (fertiliser/irrigation solution for plants). Like the back-light feature, and it's very easy to calibrate. If it keeps switching to settings screen when you turn it on, it means batteries need replacing, the battery icon does not seem to show accurately. Have so far replaced mine once.
Review: Five Stars - love this piece of equipment. precise as well although replacement liquids are expensive due to shipping.
