We recommend the Apera Instruments PH850-SL, PH8500-SL, and LabSen 551/553 as the junction structure of these models is not going to be clogged by small particles. **Q: Can you please tell me where can i get the replaceable spear electrode / sensor if needed? thanks in advanced** A: Dear customer, you can either buy the replacement electrode (AI1205) from Amazon or contact our German branch of Apera Instruments. Best regards The Apera Instruments Team **Q: What is the best option for ph level testing pinpricks of blood. the spear or flat sensor? what about for skin?** A: Dear customer, for testing the pH of the skin we recommend the PH60F (flat sensor), this has been specially developed for surface measurement. It is also suitable for samples with a small volume, such as pinpricks of blood. Liquid samples can be diluted with distilled water if necessary. The PH60S is more suitable for pH testing of food. Best regards The Apera Instruments Team **Q: Can i use the ph60s model to measure the accurate ph of cream / lotion / shampoo without diluting it with water?** A: Dear customer, yes, the Apera Instruments PH60S can be used to measure the ph of any cosmetics without diluting it with water. ## Frequently Bought Together - Apera Instruments Premium-Series PH60S Food pH Pocket Tester Kit, Swiss Spear pH Electrode, ±0.01 pH Accuracy, -2.00-16.00 pH Range (AI313) - Apera Instruments AI1113 pH Calibration Buffer Solution Kit (7.00, 4.00), 8 oz.
