Product overview

The PHC281 series probe is a pH refillable probe made for difficult samples with a built-in
temperature sensor (

Figure 1

). The PHC28101 or PHC28103 probe is available with a

1 or 3 m (3.28 or 9.84 ft) cable and is intended for laboratory use. The pH refillable probe
has a high electrolyte flow rate and a large open junction ideal for difficult samples, such
as Low Ionic Strength (LIS), Ultrapure, dirty samples and samples with high solids
content. The probe is not suitable for use with organic solvents. A 59-mL bottle of 2.44 M
KCl Electrode Filling Solution is included with the probe.
