This helps reduce preparation time and supports practical pH measurement in laboratory, field and industrial environments.

💧

Small Sample Volume

Measurement is possible with just 0.6 ml of sample.

Rapid On-Site Use

Designed for quick measurement and practical use in industrial environments.

🧪

Less KCL Maintenance

Does not require periodic KCL solution replacement or filling.

Easy to Clean

The smooth glass electrode is easy to clean, durable and long-lasting.

A practical approach to portable pH measurement

The PAL-pH Plus offers a practical solution for users who need pH measurement outside of traditional laboratory conditions. Its portability makes it suitable for on-site use, while its small sample requirement makes it convenient when only limited sample volume is available.

One of the key advantages of the PAL-pH Plus is that it does not require periodic KCL solution replacement. This can make day-to-day operation easier, especially for users who want a simple and low-maintenance pH measurement tool.

The device is also designed for quick measurement, making it a useful option for industrial environments where users may need fast checks without complex preparation.

Place the sample and press the button

The PAL-pH Plus workflow is straightforward: place the sample, press the button and complete the measurement. This makes it practical for users who need fast and repeatable pH checks.

With a simple button-based operation, the PAL-pH Plus helps reduce work time during routine testing.
