Product news

The range of Jenway pH electrodes from Bibby Scientific now includes general purpose, application-specific and advanced performance electrodes, complementing Jenway’s versatile portfolio of portable and bench pH meters.

In order to provide the ideal electrode for almost any temperature, application, sample type and volume, over thirty different Jenway pH electrodes are available. From life science to environmental, industrial and food-related applications, there are electrodes designed with the exact characteristics required for convenient and accurate pH measurements. Examples include a life science electrode with an extended stem for measurements of samples in test tubes; micro-volume electrodes for small liquid samples and a Tris electrode for pH measurements in biological buffers, blood and protein samples.

For the food industry Jenway offers a spear knife probe for checking the pH of frozen or semi-frozen food, a jam electrode and an electrode with a flat membrane for measurements of food extracts and agar plates. Non-aqueous solutions, oils, biofuels, aggressive chemicals and low ionic strength solutions can all be tested using different specialized electrodes from the Jenway range.

Jenway provides a wide choice of high quality portable and laboratory pH meters, from the basic 3505, which is ideal for use in education, to the advanced 3540, a combined pH and conductivity meter, ideal for research laboratories. The bench meters have a compact footprint, tough chemical-resistant case, adjustable viewing angle and can be wall-mountable if required.

ElectrophoresisElectrophoresis equipment is used to separate mixtures of protein, DNA or RNA, based on their electric charge, size and other physical characteristics, by passing them through a medium such as a polyacrylamide gel, an agarose gel or a capillary tube. Electrophoresis equipment includes horizontal and vertical gel electrophoresis chambers, isoelectric focusing systems, 2D electrophoresis and capillary electrophoresis instruments. Precast gels with a gradient can be used or gels can be hand cast. Samples are run alongside ladders or markers to identify the approximate size of a molecule. Separated proteins and nucleic acids in the gel can be stained or probed with fluorescent markers and then imaged and detected using gel documentation instruments, transilluminators, densitometers and scanners.

Other meters can also measure the conductivity or dissolved oxygen content of a solution. pH meters, specific ion meters, conductivity meters and dissolved oxygen meters can come as benchtop or portable equipment. A meter’s electrodes can be replaced with easy to clean electrodes or electrodes for difficult media. pH, ion and conductivity meters are typically used in life science research, pharmaceutical testing, food and beverage, environmental and water analysis.

Features of ph and ion meters to consider include temperature compensation, auto-calibration, adjustable resolution, measurable range and accuracy. Meters can be handheld, portable, benchtop and modular.Spear Knife Probe
