We recommend the Apera Instruments PH850-SL, PH8500-SL, and LabSen 551/553 as the junction structure of these models is not going to be clogged by small particles. **Q: Can you please tell me where can i get the replaceable spear electrode / sensor if needed? thanks in advanced** A: Dear customer, you can either buy the replacement electrode (AI1205) from Amazon or contact our German branch of Apera Instruments. Best regards The Apera Instruments Team **Q: What is the best option for ph level testing pinpricks of blood. the spear or flat sensor? what about for skin?** A: Dear customer, for testing the pH of the skin we recommend the PH60F (flat sensor), this has been specially developed for surface measurement. It is also suitable for samples with a small volume, such as pinpricks of blood. Liquid samples can be diluted with distilled water if necessary. The PH60S is more suitable for pH testing of food. Best regards The Apera Instruments Team **Q: Can i use the ph60s model to measure the accurate ph of cream / lotion / shampoo without diluting it with water?** A: Dear customer, yes, the Apera Instruments PH60S can be used to measure the ph of any cosmetics without diluting it with water. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a very good pH meter from a company well respected for quality scientific instruments. *by K***N on 25 November 2023* The readings settle quite quickly and the built in temperature element corrects the pH for temperature saving that extra step. The instrument is robust and feels well made. I am pleased with it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Product *by A***E on 30 October 2023* It's made my formulation experience a breeze! ### ⭐⭐ Wouldn't calibrate, UK warranty worthless. *by P***S on 13 February 2024* So I went through (or tried to go through) the calibration procedure on receiving my PH60S. It refused to calibrate, with the reading continually jumping round by over a hundred times it's claimed accuracy. I went through the troubleshooting guide - no joy, so raised a support issue with their main office in the USA. They handed the issue over to Germany, who handles support & warranty issues for Europe. They just advised me to return it, as the import/export duties to get it repaired or replaced (they have no service centre in the UK) would have been about £30 each way - so approx £60 for a warranty replacement. So I returned it & will buy an alternative from a supplier that can properly support UK customers. ## Frequently Bought Together - Apera Instruments Premium-Series PH60S Food pH Pocket Tester Kit, Swiss Spear pH Electrode, ±0.01 pH Accuracy, -2.00-16.00 pH Range (AI313) - Apera Instruments AI1113 pH Calibration Buffer Solution Kit (7.00, 4.00), 8 oz.
