There are two issues here:
\n1) Solutions that are difficult to measure
\n2) Solutions that will damage the sensor<\/p>\n
Solutions that are Difficult to Measure<\/b> Solutions that can Damage the Sensor<\/b> In addition, do not place the sensor in hydrofluoric acid or an acid or base solution with a concentration higher than 1 M.<\/p>\n Keep in mind that all our pH sensors (GDX-PH<\/a>, GDX-FPH<\/a>, PH-BTA<\/a> or FPH-BTA<\/a>) are designed to be used in aqueous solutions. The polycarbonate body of the sensor can be damaged by many organic solvents, including but not restricted to: chloroform, acetone, methanol, toluene, xylene, and methyl ethyl ketone.<\/p>\n Options for Specific Solvents<\/b> There are two issues here: 1) Solutions that are difficult to measure 2) Solutions that will damage the sensor Solutions that are Difficult to Measure…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11015,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[2295,2296,2297,625,294,214,2294],"class_list":["post-1599","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","tag-brackish-salt-salty-salt-water","tag-estuary-ocean-sea","tag-gph-bnc","tag-ph","tag-ph-bta","tag-ph-din","tag-tris"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vernier.com\/til\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vernier.com\/til\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vernier.com\/til\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vernier.com\/til\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11015"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vernier.com\/til\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1599"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.vernier.com\/til\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1599\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vernier.com\/til\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vernier.com\/til\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vernier.com\/til\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nThe pH Sensor (GDX-PH<\/a>, GDX-FPH<\/a>, PH-BTA<\/a> or FPH-BTA<\/a>) will have difficulty measuring the pH of the following liquids: distilled water, water with a low ion concentration, food and wine, ocean water, brackish water, and wastewater. In these liquids, the pH readings will be slow to stabilize, potentially taking several minutes.<\/p>\n
\nThe pH Sensor can be damaged if you try to measure the pH of an aqueous solution containing a protein or a Tris buffer. Long-term exposure to these species can cause irreparable damage to the sensor. Vernier sells the Go Direct®<\/sup> Tris-Compatible Flat pH<\/a> (
\nWe do offer Glass Body pH probes and electrodes (Go Direct®<\/sup> Glass-Body pH Sensor<\/a> (
