Open Junction Reference
The open junction design consists of a solid gel
interface between the meat sample and internal
Ag/AgCl reference. This interface prevents silver from
entering the sample and makes it impermeable to
clogging, resulting in fast response and stable
reading.

General Description & Intended Use
The
HI981036
Meat pH Tester is designed to measure the pH during meat
processing process and ensure it meets the food-hygiene and Hazard Analysis
Critical Control Point (HACCP) regulations.
It features a single button operation system and is easy to use. It has a compact
and waterproof casing and automatic pH calibration at one or two points.
All readings are automatically compensated for temperature variations with a
built-in temperature sensor.
The specialized pH probe has an outer junction sleeve that can be removed and
cleaned, extending the life of the tester. The conical tip allows measurements to
be taken directly in solid or semisolid samples.
Probe Features
Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Body
PVDF is a food-grade plastic that is resistant to most chemicals and solvents,
including sodium hypochlorite, it is also resistant to fungal growth. It has high
abrasion resistance, mechanical strength, and resistance to ultraviolet.
Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing a Hanna Instruments product. Please read this
instruction manual carefully before using the tester.

Preparation
• Remove the protective cap. Do not be alarmed if salt deposits are present.
Rinse the probe with water and blot dry.
• If the glass and / or junction are dry, soak the electrode (bottom 4 cm /
1.5 “) in storage solution for a minimum of 30 minutes. Rinse with water
and blot dry.
• Calibrate the electrode before using. For best results is recommended to
recalibrate periodically.
Storage
• To ensure a quick response, the glass tip and junction should be kept moist.
• Replace the protective cap with a few drops of storage solution when not in
use. Do not store the electrode in distilled or deionized water.
Operation
Press the ON/OFF button to turn the tester
on. The tester displays all LCD segments
for a few seconds. The tester will enter

Calibration
From measurement mode, press and hold the ON/OFF button until “CAL” is
displayed.
For one or two-point calibration using pH 7.01 buffer solution, follow
procedure A.
For one-point calibration using pH 4.01 buffer solution, follow
procedure B.
Note:
It is recommended to calibrate the electrode with buffers at the
temperature it will be used at.
