Hello all,

Just wanted to share a video we made on best practices for using a pH electrode.

The team at Hanna has seen a lot of good (and bad) pH measurement practices throughout the company's 39 years of experience, so we’ve compiled a list of the top 10 mistakes in pH measurement, as well as advice on what to do instead.



The Following are the most common mistakes we encounter when using a pH electrode!
