Skin
pH Portable Meter (HACCP)
The
HI-99181 is a durable, waterproof, and portable pH and temperature meter
designed specifically for analysis of skin. Automatic calibration is
performed at one or two points with two sets of buffers. All calibration
and measurement readings are automatically compensated for temperature
variations.
The
HI-99181 uses the HI-14143/50 glass body, amplified pH electrode that
offers numerous features that improve pH testing for skin and surface
measurements. The split-level LCD displays both pH and temperature
readings, along with indicators for reading stability, battery
percentage, and calibration instructions.

Many
factors affect the pH of skin, including age, genetics, sweat, and
moisture. Skin has a naturally acidic pH, ranging from pH 4 to 6.
However, continued effects of alkaline cosmetic products, soaps, and
detergents can easily raise the skin’s natural pH. A higher-than-normal
pH can lead to adverse skin conditions, so monitoring the biological
compatibility between skin and cosmetics and pharmaceuticals is
essential.
TThe
HI99181 uses the HI14143/50 amplified pH electrode with glass body. This
specialized electrode offers numerous features that improve surface pH
testing. An integrated temperature sensor allows for temperature
compensated pH measurements without the need for a separate temperature
probe. The probe’s flat sensing tip provides optimal surface contact for
skin measurement.
An integral part of any pH electrode is the reference junction. The
reference junction is a part of the electrode that allows for the flow of
ions located in the reference cell into the sample being tested. It is
vital that this flow occurs in order to complete an electrical circuit,
which ultimately determines the pH value. Poor contact between the
junction and sample will prevent completion of the circuit, resulting in
readings that are erratic or constantly drifting. The flat tip of the
HI14143/50 provides optimal surface contact between the sample and the
junction. The HI14143/50 features an open junction design which utilizes a
viscolene reference electrolyte that comes into direct contact with skin’s
surface, providing accurate, stable readings.
Glass
Body
The glass body of the HI14143/50 is chemically resistant and quick to
reach thermal equilibrium, allowing for a faster, more stable
response.
Flat
Tip
The flat tip sensing bulb allows for the direct surface measurement of
skin. Maximum surface contact is achieved with this specialized tip
shape.
Open
Junction Reference
The open junction design consists of a solid gel interface (viscolene)
between the sample and internal Ag/AgCl reference. This interface not
only prevents silver from entering the sample, but also makes it
impermeable to clogging, resulting in a fast response and stable
reading.
Built-in
Temperature Sensor
Errors in calibration and measurement are eliminated with the
Automatic Temperature Compensation provided by the integrated
temperature sensor.
