HI-10482 HALO BLUETOOTH® PH ELECTRODE FOR WINE

These features include General Purpose (GP) glass, spheric bulb design, integrated temperature sensor, glass body, and is refillable with Electrolyte solution 3.5M KCl.

HI-10482 HALO® Bluetooth® pH Electrode for Wine

Since the features of the HI-10482 HALO® electrode are of great benefit to winemakers, the average pH of wine has influenced the choice of calibration buffers when paired with a compatible meter. Generally, a pH between 3 and 4 is optimal for most wines. To increase accuracy and ensure the expected readings are bracketed between the calibration points, pH 3.00 calibration buffer is displayed in lieu of pH 4.01 buffer when this application-specific HALO® is connected to 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.

Hanna Lab App

The first app that turns an iPad® into a full-featured pH meter!

The Hanna Lab App turns an iPad® into a full-featured pH meter when used with the Hanna HALO® pH electrode with Bluetooth® smart technology. Functions include calibration, measurement, data logging, graphing and data sharing. Measurement and logging of pH and temperature at one second intervals start as soon as the probe is connected. Measurements can be displayed alone on the display, with tabulated data or as a graph. The graph can be planned and zoomed with the iPad's pinch-to-zoom technology for enhanced viewing.

Connecting a HALO® probe to the Hanna Lab App is simple. Tap the Bluetooth® icon in the top-right corner to view all available HALO® probes then press the button on your HALO® probe. The blue halo on the probe will start blinking indicating that it is in discovery mode. Select the newly discovered HALO® probe from the list of available probes. If a previously associated probe is detectable when the app is opened, it will connect to that probe automatically.

• Connects to HALO® via Bluetooth® 4.0
• Up to five-point pH calibration with seven standard pH buffers available
• Calibration reminder
• pH and temperature updated every second
• Basic and full GLP
• Fluid, dynamic graphing
• Measurement alarms Alerts you if the measurement threshold is exceeded
• One button sample tagging
• Data-logging with custom annotations
• Share data via email in CSV format
• Help and tutorials

Why measuring pH in wine is so important . . .

pH levels are important as it will affect the overall quality of the final product. Taste, colour, oxidation, protein & chemical stability, and yeast fermentation will all be affected by the pH level. A higher pH (above 4.0) can make the wine chemically unstable, a breeding ground for bacteria, and prone to spoiling quickly.

Three important factors in determining the pH of wine include the ratio of malic acid to tartaric acid, potassium levels, and the total amount of acid present. Most wines have a pH between 2.9 and 4.0 (different types of wine may differ). A low pH allows the wine to stay fresher for longer and maintain its colour and flavour.

• Ideal pH for finished white wines: pH 3.00 to 3.30
• Ideal pH for finished reds: pH 3.40 to 3.50
• Before the fermentation process: pH 2.9 to 4.0

Bluetooth® Connection – Wire free data transmission using Bluetooth 4 low power technology. Compatible with the HANNA Edge Blu® meter, and also allows transmission of pH and temperature data to your mobile phone or tablet in conjunction with the free HANNA Lab App.
