The FC2022 HALO is a Bluetooth Smart (Bluetooth 4.0) Foodcare pH and temperature electrode composed of chemically resistant PVDF body. This electrode has a unique open junction design in which there is a viscolene (hard gel) electrolyte layer that is free of silver chloride (AgCl) between the sample to be measured and the internal reference cell. The open junction design resists clogging and the probe’s conical tip makes it ideal for pH measurements in food products including dairy, dough, ground meats and other semi-solid food samples. All readings are transmitted directly to the HI2202 edgeblu or a compatible iPad®, iPhone®, or iPod® Touch (not included) running the Hanna Lab App.

One press Connect

Easily connect to the Hanna Lab App at the press of a button via Bluetooth wireless technology.

Status Indicator

Visible from a distance, the LED “halo” light flashes to indicate the status of the probe.

Easy to replace battery

The HALO's CR2032 lithium ion battery is easily replaceable and lasts for approximately 500 hours.

Details

The FC2022 is revolutionary pH electrode that incorporates Bluetooth Smart (Bluetooth 4.0)wireless technology with an application specific design.  This electrode has many features that makes it ideal for measuring food related products. These features include: low temperature (LT) glass, conical bulb, food grade PVDF body, and open junction with viscolene gel electrolyte.

Low Temperature Glass Formulation

The glass tip uses a special Low Temperature (LT) glass formulation with a lower resistance of approximately 50 megohms compared to General Purpose (GP) with a resistance of about 100 megaohms. This is beneficial since many food products are stored at low temperatures. As the temperature of the glass decreases in the sample, the resistance of the LT glass will increase approaching that of GP glass at ambient temperatures. If using GP glass, the resistance would increase above the optimum resistance for the high impedance input of a pH meter.The FC2022 is suitable to use with samples that measure from 0 to 50°C.

Conical Glass Tip

The conical shaped tip design allows for penetration into solids, semi solids, and emulsions for the direct measurement of pH in food products including meat, cheese, yogurt, and milk.

Built-in Temperature Sensor

FC2022 features a built-in thermistor temperature sensor that is in the tip of the indicating pH electrode. A thermistor temperature sensor provides for a high accuracy temperature reading and should be as close as possible to the indicating pH electrode in order to compensate for the effect that temperature has on the membrane potential as predicted by the Nernst equation. By having an accurate reading it is possible to provide a temperature compensated reading.

PVDF Body

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is a food grade plastic that is resistant to most chemicals and solvents, including sodium hypochlorite. It has high abrasion resistance, mechanical strength and resistance to ultraviolet and nuclear radiation. PVDF is also resistant to fungal growth.

Open Junction Reference

The open junction design consists of a solid gel interface (viscolene) between the sample and internal Ag/AgCl reference. This interface not only prevents silver from entering the sample, but also makes it impermeable to clogging, resulting in a fast response and stable reading.
