Making a Push for pH Solutions

YSI (USA), a Xylem brand, will showcase a strong set of solutions for measuring pH in the lab. Included in the product mix will be their ScienceLine and IoLine pH electrodes, their TruLine pH and Ion Selective Electrodes (ISE) electrodes, and their broad range of laboratory benchtop instrumentation for these electrodes, including the YSI TruLab and MultiLab configurations.

YSI has a long history of providing both field and lab instruments that measure a wide range of parameters. Their dissolved oxygen (DO) sensors have long been a staple in most water and wastewater labs, as part of daily testing to measure the effectiveness of the treatment processes and for permit compliance reporting. YSI is now leveraging their lab expertise and raising it to a whole new level, with a new focus on the opportunities that pH and ISE measurement brings, and a reinvestment in the products that can make it happen.

YSI will also feature their unique IoLine electrodes, with a unique iodine/iodide reference system with a patented three-chamber reservoir system. IoLine electrodes offer unbeatable stability, fast response times, and high accuracy at a higher speed compared to traditional Ag/AgCI reference systems. It is a 100 percent metal ion-free reference system, ideal for Tris buffer solutions in complex biotech applications, or precision processes within immunoassay production.

Equally versatile with a broad range of applications is the YSI TruLine ISE electrodes, offering 15 electrodes for 16 different parameters. All YSI ISEs are refillable and include reference, resulting in a longer-life electrode and making them easy to maintain, calibrate and use. Additionally, each electrode comes supplied with reference fill solution, ionic strength adjustor (ISA) and a bottle of calibration standard so it can be put into use right away.

Rounding out the YSI pH solutions for the lab are the TruLab and MultiLab meters, a complete line of easy-to-use benchtop lab instruments ideal for routine and precise measurements of pH, ISEs and other parameters. Backed by a 3-year warranty with easy-to-use, menu-driven operation, the TruLab and MultiLab come in a range of offerings including single, dual, or triple channels. The MultiLab meters are also available with Intelligent Digital Sensor (IDS) technology (sensors are auto recognised by the instrument, no need for setup or configuration, and store their own calibration), with internal memory and optional built-in printer.

“Our pH offering for the lab environment is a terrific extension of our existing lab capabilities,” says Tim Grooms, Director of Marketing for YSI. “Given the broad range of applications, the variety of solutions, and the diverse industries that our probes and meters address, our lab products portfolio is now stronger than ever. We’re committed to providing our customers with the dependable data they’ve come to expect from YSI, with a breadth of pH capabilities across multiple industries, with the ability to conduct easy, fast, and highly repeatable measurements. All of this at a very competitive price point.”
