FoodTrode Details

The FoodTrode is a high-performance combination pH electrode specifically designed to provide accurate and reliable measurements in media containing proteins, a common challenge in the food and beverage industry. Its robust construction ensures durability in demanding environments. 

A key feature of the FoodTrode is its innovative use of three ceramic diaphragms. This multi-junction design significantly minimizes the risk of clogging by proteinaceous substances, which can lead to slow response times and inaccurate readings in conventional electrodes. The multiple junctions maintain a stable reference potential, contributing to faster and more dependable measurements. Furthermore, the FoodTrode is designed for easy cleaning, simplifying maintenance procedures and prolonging the electrode's lifespan. 

The integrated Everef reference system further enhances the electrode's stability, reliability, and ensures consistent performance over extended periods. Each FoodTrode is supplied with a unique serial number and a certificate of quality, providing traceability and assurance of its performance specifications. This electrode is an essential tool for quality control, research, and development in various food and beverage applications where protein content can interfere with accurate pH measurements.

Common applications Agri-Food and Beverage

Get fast, accurate pH readings in protein-rich samples

Ensure long-term reliability with a stable reference system

Simplify maintenance with an easy-to-clean design

Robust Design

  • The FoodTrode features a durable construction, making it suitable for routine use in laboratory and industrial food and beverage settings.
