Applications
pH Meter for Food Processing & Quality Control
In the food industry, precise pH control ensures product safety, consistency, and shelf stability. From monitoring cheese fermentation and meat curing to checking the acidity of sauces, dressings, and yogurt, the MW102-FOOD enables fast, reliable readings directly in the product. This ensures compliance with food safety standards, optimizes production processes, and supports flavor development.
pH Meter for Laboratory - Research & Development in Food Science
In food science labs, precise pH measurement is essential for product development, shelf-life testing, and regulatory compliance. The MW102-FOOD, with its specialized food-grade probe, ensures dependable readings even in viscous or protein-rich samples, minimizing interference and sample damage.
Proper Care & Maintenance
pH meters usually start performing poorly because of problems with the probe. The two parts of the pH probe that cause problems are the glass sensing bulb and the reference junction.
SENSING BULB
The glass bulb loses sensitivity with use and will eventually fail. This is true of all pH probes.
REFERENCE JUNCTION
The reference junction is a small hole that allows the meter to compare the sample to a reference. The reading is generated based on the electrical difference between the sample and reference. If the junction hole gets clogged, the pH electrode will no longer function.
You can extend the life of your pH electrode in the following ways.
CLEANING AND STORAGE
All pH sensors have a limited life and response time gets longer with age. Properly maintaining your pH pen tester will give you fast, accurate results for longer. So, be sure to order the Milwaukee codes MA9015 and MA9016 at checkout time! This will be needed to help clean and condition the pH electrode before use!
STORAGE
The pH probe needs to be kept hydrated. Long periods of dry storage will damage the sensitivity of the probe. Allowing the probe to dry out may also result in the junction hole getting clogged.
Storing in pH probe storage solution MA9015 or pH calibration buffers will help address both these issues. Do not store in tap water and DI water. This will damage the sensitivity of the probe.
The best way to store the probe is with the probe's cap filled with storage solution or calibration buffer and the cap tightened to prevent leakage. It is also recommended that to store the electrode upright to further reduce the potential for leakage.
CLEANING
Residue from the sample can impact the sensitivity of the sensing bulb and clog the junction. This is especially true if the sample has a lot of organic material. We recommend regularly soaking your electrode in cleaning solution MA9016.
CALIBRATION
The pH sensing bulbs become less sensitive over time so make sure that you are calibrating regularly to keep your PRO Plus pH meter accurate. Also, calibrate after cleaning or a long period of storage.
