Apera PH8500-MT Premium Series Portable Blade Spear pH Meter for Meat with Data Logger

The Apera PH8500-MT Premium Series portable pH meter is engineered for precise *direct pH measurement* in meat and meat products, utilizing the Swiss-engineered LabSen® 763 Titanium-body Blade Spear pH/Temp Electrode. This specialized electrode features a double-protected open & ceramic junction with polymer electrolyte, designed to minimize junction clogging and maintain electrode stability—a critical aspect for accurate readings in bioprocessing and molecular diagnostics involving meat matrices.

Key technical features include:

• Measurement Accuracy: ±0.01 pH with automatic temperature compensation and calibration (1 to 3 points — standards 1.68, 4.00, 7.00, 10.01, 12.45) ensuring reliable data critical in biopharmaceutical production pipelines.
• GLP Data Management: Built-in data logger stores up to 500 data sets with USB interface for data export, supporting detailed analysis and compliance critical in molecular diagnostics and quality control workflows.
• Robust Design: IP57 waterproof rating with a rubber silicone protective sleeve, suitable for harsh laboratory or industrial environments, including biotechnology laboratories focused on meat product bioprocessing.
• User Interface: Large white backlit LCD with stability icon, calibrated standard indicators, simultaneous temperature display, and time for enhanced usability during live-cell imaging sample preparations or fluorescence analysis involving meat samples.
• Electrode Innovations: Proprietary blue gel inner electrolyte avoids air bubbles, enabling accurate upside-down measurements, essential for reliable pH readings in synthetic biology and clinical diagnostics applications.
• Reference System: Long-life silver chloride reference system enhanced with cotton stuffing to prevent electrolyte interaction, extending electrode life and maintaining measurement stability crucial for continuous molecular biology experiments.

This meter is widely adopted in food biotechnology, biomedical engineering, and quality control laboratories requiring rapid and accurate pH monitoring of biological tissues, making it a vital instrument in synthetic biology research and biomanufacturing environments. It also supports manual and automatic data logging modes allowing tailored data capture to meet diverse research and diagnostic demands.
