New and Improved pH Glass Bulb
The Broadley-James cobalt blue pH bulb
offers the optimum blend of fast response
and physical durability. Other manufacturers
may have a very thick glass membrane,
allowing for better survival of “accidents”.
However, these thick bulbs slow response
and lead to noisy fluctuating readings. The
current formula is the result of thousands of
tests, subjecting the pH electrodes to 130°C
steam for an hour, then quenching in cool
water. Every FermProbe shipped is required
to pass this test, and can be trusted to work
out of the box, and keep on working while
retaining its fast response.
USP Pharmaceutical Grade Electrolyte Thickener
To achieve longer life, the electrolyte inside a pH
electrode is thickened with an additive. Broadley-
James understands that anything that comes into
contact with a product should be as safe as possible.
For that reason Broadley-James does NOT use poly-
acrylamide gel like most other manufacturers. The
residual acrylamide, which is always present, poses
an unacceptable risk of contamination. Broadley-
James uses only the purest form of CMC, the same
mat
erial used in the coating and binding of pharma-
ceutical tablets.
Universally Compatible
All Broadley-James pH electrodes work with existing
biotech equipment, no proprietary electronics or
cables are required. Broadley-James designs are
intended to fit both existing and future require-
ments, without introducing any unn ecessary
changes in hardware or cabling. Reduces inventory
and confusion, increases flexibilit y and cost savings.
The
Market Leader in pH Electrode Design
Unlike other manufacturers, Broadley-James does
not believe in changing the basic design every few
years forcing customers into buying new equipment
to keep current. Instead, Broadley-James strives to
make improvements “backwards compati ble” so
they can be used with new electronics as well as the
old. No changing of connectors which would require
new cabling to be run throughout the suite. Instead,
Broadley-James strives to protect investments, and
help lev
erage them into the future. Improvements
are made with your process in mind.
Suitable for Hygienic Applications.
The FermProbe withstands Steam in Place
(SIP) and caustic Clean in Place (CIP) appli-
cations. FDA compliant o-rings are used
throughout.
Extra Rugged Design
The Broadley-James traditional 25 mm
housing body provides a physically robust
electrode-housing combination for harsh
industrial production environments.
