Why Replace Your Electrode?
pH electrodes are consumable components that degrade over time due to glass membrane aging, junction clogging, and electrolyte depletion. Regular electrode replacement ensures accurate, reliable measurements and extends the life of your HI98112 Piccolo 2 pH tester. The HI1290 is engineered to deliver the same precision and performance as your original electrode.
Technical Design
Integrated Temperature Sensor
The built-in temperature sensor enables automatic temperature compensation (ATC), ensuring accurate pH readings regardless of sample temperature fluctuations. This eliminates the need for manual temperature correction and streamlines your testing workflow.
Gel-Filled Reference System
The single Ag/AgCl reference cell uses a stable gel electrolyte that never requires refilling. This maintenance-free design reduces downtime and ensures consistent reference potential for reliable measurements over the electrode's lifetime.
Ceramic Junction
The single ceramic junction provides a controlled flow rate of 15-20 µL, offering excellent resistance to clogging while maintaining good electrical contact with samples. This design is ideal for general-purpose testing in field applications.
Spherical Glass Tip
The 5mm diameter spherical tip provides a large surface area for fast response times and is suitable for a wide variety of sample types, from liquids to semi-solids.
Compatibility
The HI1290 electrode is specifically designed as a replacement probe for the Hanna HI98112 Piccolo 2 pH tester. The multi-pin connector ensures secure, error-free installation.
