Instrument: Benchtop pH Meter

Instrument Short Name: Benchtop pH Meter
Instrument Description:

An instrument consisting of an electronic voltmeter and pH-responsive electrode that gives a direct conversion of voltage differences to differences of pH at the measurement temperature. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms)

This instrument does not map to the NERC instrument vocabulary term for 'pH Sensor' which measures values in the water column. Benchtop models are typically employed for stationary lab applications.

PI supplied instrument name: Accument bench top pH probe
Dataset-specific description

Soil pH was determined by creating a 1:5 slurry of soil to distilled, deionized water, and sub- sequent measurement using an Accument bench top pH probe (Accumet XL200, ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA).
