Pick the right meter. A pH meter with more than minimum requirements may be the better option. Product requirements and regulations change with time. Meters with advanced features will allow for a wider range of testing and documentation of results.
Know the basics. The meter's algorithm and displayed value expresses the amount of potential difference between the electrode’s reference to a sample being tested. During the process of electrode equilibrium (or end-point), a blockage or slowing of an electrode’s reference junction can impact the electrode's ability to perform its task.Remember electrodes need to be rinsed and blotted before each test.
Maintenance is critical. Periodic and proper cleaning is required. Protein and other contaminants can build up on the electrode reference junction or sensing areas, often resulting in a longer time to endpoint. Cleaning solutions specifically designed for differing electrode
Today is Earth Day, and our blog usually focuses around Nelson-Jameson’s social and environmental sustainability practices. This year, however, we’re taking a “big picture” approach, and exploring the overall food industry’s sustainability outlook. We’ll take a closer look at the ways in which food manufacturers, distributors, suppliers and retailers are taking steps to increase sustainability and reduce waste in the supply chain.
So, what is sustainability? Well, in this context it means that a business’s industrial practices and strategies create
Achieving accurate pH measurements is essential in various industries, and having the right techniques can make a significant difference. The first tip is to carefully choose the pH meter for your needs – opting for one with advanced features beyond the minimum requirements ensures adaptability to evolving product specifications and regulations. Understanding the basics is crucial; the meter's algorithm and displayed value indicate the potential difference between the electrode's reference and the sample under examination. During electrode equilibrium, any hindrance to the reference junction can impact the meter's performance, emphasizing the importance of proper rinsing and blotting before each test. Maintenance plays a critical role, with periodic and thorough cleaning necessary to prevent contaminants like proteins from accumulating on the electrode, which can lead to prolonged testing times. Cleaning solutions tailored to specific electrode styles are indispensable for optimal
It is quite easy to go through the day without taking a second look or give a second thought to the brushes we may use in our food industry operations or in our homes. Considering the vigorous workouts that we give our brushes, and the harsh conditions we expose them to, these workhorses are probably, at best, considered a basic tool with a basic function. Yet, the brushes we utilize today in industrial and domestic realms are the result of continuously morphing science and engineering standards.
For instance, filaments, the frontline soldiers in scouring, are put under a great deal of constant duress. In order to ensure that filaments (which can be made of several different materials, including polyester and polypropylene) don’t shed like needles from a dry Christmas tree, various settings have been developed to both allow durability and reflect standards of sanitary practice.
For basic cleaning, filaments have been traditionally set in with staples. Filaments are held in place, allowing for a level of durability and the ability to retain the filaments. However useful, staple-set brushes, because of their setting do permit small pieces of debris to get caught within the setting and may allow the growth of potential bacteria that get caught there. Such general-use brushes may work within certain circumstances; yet, they present some issues when contending with ensuring sanitary standards in food industry environments.
All pumps have seals, but not all seals are the same. Alfa Laval LKH seals are the ultimate design for cleanability, maintainability, and versatility – resulting in the
