PHS-3C Benchtop Digital pH Meter with High-Precision Glass Combination Electrode

PHS-3C Benchtop Digital pH Meter

High-Precision Benchtop Solution for Laboratories across Bangladesh

Whether operating a quality control laboratory in Dhaka, an industrial effluent treatment plant (ETP) in Gazipur, or a research center in Chittagong, precise chemical measurement is vital. The PHS-3C Benchtop Digital pH Meter is engineered to meet rigorous international testing standards while offering an intuitive, user-friendly operation. It measures both pH values (0.00 to 14.00 pH) and ORP/mV potential (-1999 to +1999 mV) with exceptional resolution and low drift.

Key Features and Performance Capabilities

1. ±0.01 High-Precision Accuracy

Equipped with a highly sensitive E-201 combination pH electrode, the PHS-3C meter delivers high repeatability and rapid response times. With an accuracy level of ±0.01 pH, it ensures reliable analytical data required for research, pharmaceutical formulations, and regulatory compliance testing.

2. Dual Measurement Modes (pH & mV/ORP)

• pH Measurement Mode: Reads liquid hydrogen ion activity across the full 0.00 to 14.00 pH spectrum.

• mV / ORP Mode: Allows connection of ORP probes to measure oxidation-reduction potential within ±1999 mV, essential for analyzing redox reactions in wastewater and chemical processing.

3. Temperature Compensation & Slope Adjustment

Temperature variations can skew pH readings. The PHS-3C incorporates manual/automatic temperature compensation ranging from 0°C to 60°C (up to 100°C depending on probe setup). By adjusting for sample temperature, the instrument prevents measurement errors caused by ambient room shifts in tropical climates like Bangladesh.

4. Automatic Standard Buffer Recognition & Calibration

System setup is straightforward with standard 2-point calibration. The internal microcomputer recognizes standard buffer solutions (4.00 pH, 6.86 pH, and 9.18 pH), guiding technicians through quick calibration steps to maintain optimal probe sensitivity.

5. Heavy-Duty Lab Design with Flexible Electrode Stand

• Large Digital Display: Clean, high-contrast digital display prevents reading errors in busy lab environments.

• Adjustable Probe Arm: Features an articulated electrode holder that holds both pH probes and temperature sensors securely in beaker solutions.

• BNC Connector Compatibility: Standard BNC probe port allows compatibility with various specialized electrodes (glass bulb, flat surface, or spear tip).

Practical Operating Guidelines for Long Instrument Life

1. Electrode Care: Always store the glass probe tip in 3M KCl electrode storage solution. Never let the glass bulb dry out.

2. Calibration Routine: Calibrate the PHS-3C meter daily or before critical testing batches using fresh pH 4.00 and 6.86 buffer solutions.

3. Rinsing: Wash the electrode with distilled or deionized water between sample transfers to avoid cross-contamination.

4. Stable Powering: Connect the device via a stable power outlet or voltage stabilizer to prevent line fluctuations during high-precision research.

7. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the price of the PHS-3C Benchtop Digital pH Meter in Bangladesh?

A: Prices typically range between BDT 4,500 to BDT 8,500 depending on the specific manufacturer brand (such as Rex, Hinotek, or Shanghai Instrument), included accessories, and warranty terms.

Q2: Does the PHS-3C meter come with a pH electrode and buffer powders?

A: Yes, standard full kits include the PHS-3C host unit, a composite pH glass electrode (E-201 series), an electrode holder arm, power cord, and standard calibration buffer sachets/bottles.

Q3: How often should I calibrate the PHS-3C laboratory pH meter?

A: For accurate laboratory measurements, daily 2-point calibration is recommended. For continuous testing environments, calibrate every 4–6 hours or whenever testing high-acidity/high-alkalinity extremes.

Q4: Can I test soil pH with the PHS-3C digital pH meter?

A: Yes. To test soil pH, prepare a 1:5 soil-to-distilled-water mixture, stir thoroughly, allow the soil to settle, and immerse the composite electrode into the clear supernatant liquid.

Q5: What should I do if the pH reading drifts or fluctuates?

A: Fluctuations are usually caused by a dirty probe glass bulb, insufficient electrolyte in the reference electrode, or static charge. Clean the electrode gently with dilute acid or DI water, re-hydrate in 3M KCl solution, and recalibrate.
