Hach PHC729, User Manual

Page: 5 / 22

Section 1 Product overview
The Intellical PHC729 pH probes are digital, combination electrodes with a flat sensing element that
measure the pH of flat surfaces or samples of low depth. The probes use the Red Rod technology
and a saturated KCl electrolyte for high performance. The probes are refillable and have a built-in
temperature sensor. A 59-mL bottle of reference electrolyte filling solution (saturated KCl solution) is
supplied with the probe. Refer to
Figure 1 .
Note: Do not use the probe to measure the pH of organic solvents, emulsions or samples with many solids. For the
best accuracy, do not use the probe to measure the pH of very alkaline samples.
