Professional Performance in a Pocket Design
The HI98108 pHep®+ bridges the gap between basic pocket testers and expensive benchtop meters. With 0.01 pH resolution and three-point calibration capability, it delivers laboratory-grade accuracy in a portable, field-ready package. Whether you're testing in the lab, on the production floor, or in the field, the pHep®+ provides the precision and reliability you need.
Advanced Technology for Accurate Testing
0.01 pH Resolution
The HI98108 provides 0.01 pH resolution—ten times more precise than standard 0.1 resolution pocket testers. This high resolution is essential for applications requiring tight pH control, such as:
Chemical manufacturing and process control
Water treatment and wastewater monitoring
Food and beverage production
Pharmaceutical quality control
Research and laboratory work
Hydroponics and precision agriculture
Three-Point Calibration
Unlike basic pocket testers limited to one or two-point calibration, the pHep®+ supports up to three-point calibration for superior accuracy across the entire pH range. Calibrate to pH 4.01, 7.01, and 10.01 buffers to ensure accurate measurements whether testing acidic, neutral, or alkaline samples.
Unique Cloth Junction Electrode
The HI98108 features a unique reference cell design with a cloth junction that provides a larger surface area than standard ceramic junctions. This innovative design offers:
Faster response times for quicker measurements
More stable readings in varying sample conditions
Better electrical contact with samples
Extractable junction for extended electrode life
Improved performance in samples with suspended solids
Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC)
An exposed temperature sensor allows for rapid automatic temperature compensated pH measurements. The sensor quickly equilibrates with sample temperature, ensuring accurate pH readings regardless of temperature variations. Temperature can be displayed in either °C or °F.
Waterproof Construction
Fully waterproof design protects the tester in wet environments, making it ideal for poolside testing, field sampling, production floor use, and laboratory applications where water exposure is common.
User-Friendly Design Features
Ultra-Slim, Ergonomic Design
At only 0.7" (17mm) thick and lightweight, the pHep®+ is extremely ergonomic and fits comfortably in your hand. The slim profile makes it easy to carry in a pocket, lab coat, or field kit without adding bulk.
Two-Button Operation
Simple two-button interface makes operation intuitive for anyone. One button for ON/OFF, the other for calibration—no complicated menus to navigate.
Large LCD Display
The large, easy-to-read LCD displays:
pH reading: 0.01 resolution for precise measurements
Temperature: Simultaneous temperature display
Stability indicator: Confirms when reading is stable
Calibration tags: Shows which buffers were used

Why Choose the pHep®+?
Superior to Basic Pocket Testers
The 0.01 pH resolution and three-point calibration capability set the pHep®+ apart from basic pocket testers that offer only 0.1 resolution and two-point calibration. This makes it ideal for applications requiring tighter pH control and higher accuracy.
More Portable Than Benchtop Meters
While benchtop meters offer excellent accuracy, they're not portable. The pHep®+ delivers comparable precision in a pocket-sized design, making it perfect for field testing, production floor QC, and on-the-go measurements.
Rugged & Reliable
Built to withstand demanding environments, the waterproof pHep®+ handles wet conditions, temperature variations, and the rigors of daily field and industrial use.
