The open junction design prevents clogging from skin proteins and residue, ensuring consistent performance.
Technical Excellence
Better Features for Better Testing
An onscreen stability indicator ensures the highest level of confidence in your results. The selectable auto-off feature prolongs battery life for peace-of-mind and energy savings if the meter is accidentally left on.
Pocket Sized
The compact size makes the HI981037 Skin & Scalp pH Tester ideal for on-the-go testing. A large LCD display provides at-a-glance readings from any angle and single button operation streamlines the testing process for any user.
Long Battery Life
The included CR2032 Li-ion battery provides up to 1000 hours of continuous use. The battery icon will blink to let you know it is time to change the battery so you never miss a measurement.
Specialized Electrode Design
Your measurements require detailed attention; so should your electrode. The HI981037 Skin & Scalp pH Tester features a built-in probe that has been carefully designed for measuring the pH of the skin and scalp.
Open Junction
The open junction design reduces clogging from residue and proteins from the skin or scalp for the electrode to work with minimal moisture for a stable measurement.
Flat Glass Tip
A flat tip electrode allows for the direct pH measurement of a surface.
Glass Body
A glass body is easy to clean, is chemically resistant, and quick to reach thermal equilibrium for a faster, more stable measurement.
Complete Kit - Ready to Use
We believe that buying a tester should be simple. Your Skin & Scalp pH Tester is equipped with everything you need for successful testing right out of the box.
