Bibby Scientific Ltd has announced that Jenway®, a leading UK manufacturer of analytical laboratory instruments, has launched two new portable pH meters, models 550 and 570.

These new pH meters can be used in the field to perform accurate measurements, removing the need to take samples back to the laboratory. This is essential for scientists working out in the field, to achieve results.

Jenway’s new portable pH meters have been designed to readily withstand a diverse range of environments, whilst accurately and reliably measuring pH levels for a variety of sample types.

Model 550 is a general-purpose portable pH meter that displays both the temperature-compensated pH readings and temperature. This small, lightweight meter has an LCD display packaged in a splash-proof housing and has 5,000 hours of battery life.

Model 570 is a general-purpose hand-held pH, mV and temperature meter. The unit displays either temperature-compensated pH readings or electrode potential and temperature readings. This model features a large, easy-to-read LCD display and has an integrated rubber seal to ensure that the unit is completely waterproof.

Both models offer 2-point pH calibration and automatic buffer recognition, and come with a market-leading 2-year warranty.

"Bibby Scientific is committed to providing reliable and high quality products, and these new portable pH meters will complement Jenway’s comprehensive range of application-specific electrodes and consumables," said Becky Underwood, Product Manager at Bibby Scientific.

pH Meters and ElectrodesIon and pH meters are electrochemical equipment used to measure the pH (acidity or alkalinity) or specific ion concentration of a solution. Other meters can also measure the conductivity or dissolved oxygen content of a solution. pH meters, specific ion meters, conductivity meters and dissolved oxygen meters can come as benchtop or portable equipment. A meter’s electrodes can be replaced with easy to clean electrodes or electrodes for difficult media. pH, ion and conductivity meters are typically used in life science research, pharmaceutical testing, food and beverage, environmental and water analysis.

Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.Robotic InstrumentsRobotic instruments can be used for high-throughput automation of many lab processes. Such processes use instruments for assays like cell based assays and ELISA, for sample preparation like shakers, centrifuges and incubators, and for analysis such as sequencing and western blot analyzers. Useful features of robotic instruments include speed, reproducibility, barcode readers, software and automation.CalibrationSample HandlingProper and careful handling of samples is important in scientific studies to ensure the integrity of specimens. This will prevent deterioration and cross contamination, and improve the accuracy of sample tracking procedures.Temperature
