Hanna HI981036 Foodcare Meat pH Tester

Hanna HI981036 Foodcare Meat pH Tester

The Hanna HI981036 Foodcare Meat pH Tester is a rugged, waterproof digital meter designed specifically for measuring pH in meat, sausage, ground meat, and semi-solid food products. With a specialized built-in probe and sharp-tip design, this instrument provides quick, accurate pH readings directly inside meat products, supporting quality, safety, and shelf-life optimization.

Features

• Designed for Meat pH Measurement
  Equipped with a built-in, meat-specific electrode, the tester easily penetrates meat, patties, sausages, or cold cuts. As a result, it delivers accurate readings even in dense, protein-rich matrices where standard probes often fail.

• High Accuracy for Quality Assurance
  With 0.01 pH resolution and ±0.05 pH accuracy at 25°C, this tester ensures precise control over processing and storage conditions. Therefore, it’s an essential tool for monitoring spoilage, fermentation, or salting effectiveness.

• Automatic Calibration at One or Two Points
  Supports calibration with standard pH buffer solutions (pH 4.01, 7.01, or 10.01), allowing for easy recalibration to maintain accuracy across multiple batches or shifts. Moreover, automatic recognition makes the process user-friendly.

• Waterproof and Durable in Harsh Environments
  Designed with an IP67 waterproof rating, this tester withstands washdowns, refrigeration environments, and production-floor conditions. Consequently, it’s ready for daily use in food plants or butcher shops.

• Efficient Power Management
  Powered by a CR2032 lithium-ion battery, the device operates for up to 1,000 hours of continuous use. In addition, its auto-off feature (8 minutes, 60 minutes, or disabled) helps conserve battery life between sessions.

• Portable, Ergonomic, and Easy to Clean
  Weighing only 43 g, this tester fits comfortably in your hand or apron pocket. Its smooth, food-safe surface can be sanitized quickly between uses. Thus, it supports hygienic practices without interrupting workflow.
