pH and Conductivity
Description
By offering a superior solution for biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and other ultra-sanitary applications, Optek’s unique PF12 design allows users to install a wide variety of steam-sterilizable pH electrodes (Ø12 × 120 mm) directly in high-demand processing lines.
Where typically two or three sensors are required, Optek’s conductivity sensor provides linear and reliable measurements over an extremely wide conductivity range, thanks to its patented six-electrode design.
