Hanna Instruments HI981037 Skin and Scalp pH Tester

The pH of the skin and scalp can be measured using the HI981037 Skin & Scalp pH Tester. The built-in probe is perfect for determining the pH of skin and scalp surfaces since it has an open reference junction, a flat tip, and a reference electrolyte that doesn’t flow.

±0.05 pH accuracy
Specialized electrode for spot checking the pH of skin and scalp
Comes with everything necessary to start measuring right away

With a pH of roughly 5, the skin has a somewhat acidic pH. An acidic pH encourages the growth of good bacteria while protecting against dangerous bacteria and fungi. Skin conditions can develop or be made worse by skin pH disruption. Many soaps and skin care products are pH-balanced to prevent the product from changing the skin’s pH outside of a desired range.

The pH of the skin and scalp can be measured using the HI981037 Skin & Scalp pH Tester. It is simple to operate and just a single button for operating it. It features automatic pH calibration at one or two sites and a small, waterproof enclosure.

Species of electrodes

The pH electrode’s flat tip allows for the best possible connection between the skin or scalp and the sensor. The reference electrolyte for the pH electrode is a non-flowing gelled electrolyte with an open connection architecture. The flat tip makes it possible for the pH sensor surface and reference junction to swiftly and consistently equilibrate when in contact with the skin or scalp.
Flat glass tip: The flat tip offers the best surface contact for measuring the pH of the skin or scalp as well as impermeable surfaces.
Specialized low temperature (LT) pH glass formulation offers rapid stabilization and precise results at lower temperatures.
Open junction reference: Internal Ag/AgCl reference is used in the open junction design, which uses a solid gel interface between the skin or scalp and the reference. This interface produces a quick response and a consistent reading by preventing silver from leaving the junction and making it resistant to clogging. Smaller sample sizes are possible with this design because there isn’t a junction to submerge.

Cleaning and Disinfection Solution

Your Skin pH Tester comes with all the required solution like cleaning and disinfection solution for skin residual.

pH 4 and pH 7

When performing a pH calibration it is important that the correct buffers are used. We include some start buffers to get you going. The single-use sachets are individually sealed so you use fresh buffer each time you calibrate.

Storage Solution

Proper storage of your electrode will ensure reliable measurements and a long electrode life. Our storage solution is specially formulated to keep the pH glass hydrated while minimizing organic growth.

Features at-a-glance

Large LCD

Displays the measurement reading, stability indicator, low battery indicator, and calibration tags.

Automatic Calibration

This pH tester is calibrated automatically to one or two points. Buffers are recognized automatically and after calibration, buffer values used are shown on the display.

Stability Indicator

An hourglass indicator is displayed on the LCD until a stable reading is obtained.

Automatic Shut-off

The meter can be set to automatically turn off after 8 minutes or 60 minutes to conserve battery life in the event that the meter is left on. The auto-off feature can also be disabled.

Probe Diagnostic

During calibration the meter will display error (Err) message as an indicator that the probe needs to be cleaned.

Low Battery Indicator

The skin & scalp pH tester has an exceptional battery life of approximately 1000 hours. When the battery power is running low, a low battery indicator is displayed.
