Description
Professional milk handheld pH/°C meter with pH electrode FC1013 is a robust, waterproof, HACCP-oriented instrument for pH and temperature measurement in milk. Fresh milk typically reads about pH 6,7; values below this often indicate lactic-acid spoilage by lactobacilli and impending coagulation, while values above 6,7 can signal mastitis-related alkaline contributions from blood plasma. pH checks at multiple points in a dairy plant also help optimise sensitive steps such as ultra-high-temperature pasteurisation, where small deviations from 6,7 affect process time and shelf life. Milk solids readily foul glass membranes and junctions, so the supplied Foodcare electrode FC1013 uses a PVDF body that is food-compatible, abrasion-resistant, fungus-resistant and tolerant of many chemicals including solvents and sodium hypochlorite. It connects through a waterproof Quick Connect DIN plug. CAL Check™ flags cleaning needs, electrode replacement or possible buffer contamination by comparing successive calibrations and reports electrode condition in 10 % steps. Offset and slope appear in the GLP record. Log-on-demand and PC transfer via micro-USB support batch traceability. This dedicated milk meter from manufacturer Hanna Instruments enables rapid screening and process control in dairy laboratories and production.

Questions about Professional Portable Milk pH Meter
What is this article?
Professional Portable Milk pH Meter is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Hanna Instruments for laboratory use. It sits in pH electrodes & sensors, inside pH & electrochemistry, in Lab instruments.
A pH electrode is a glass membrane and a reference. It is a consumable: the glass ages, the junction clogs, and the reading drifts. A refillable electrode and a gel electrode differ in how they are maintained. The connector has to match the meter. The electrode, not the meter, is usually what is wrong.
A pH meter is a voltmeter on a glass electrode. The voltage tracks hydrogen-ion activity, and the electrode is converted to pH only after it is adjusted with buffers of known value. Conductivity measures how well a solution carries a current, which for dilute salts tracks concentration. Dissolved oxygen and titration are further electrodes on the same idea: a sensor, a standard, and a reading that is only as fresh as the calibration. Buffer values and chemical identity sit on PubChem. Accreditation of the calibration laboratory is the field of BELAC and EURAMET.
