WTW SenTix 91 analogue precision pH electrode, glass shaft, 170 mm, 103695

The WTW SenTix 91 analogue precision pH electrode represents a premium-class metrological system solution for high-precision and reliable pH measurement in demanding laboratory applications. Designed for use with classic analogue pH meters from the WTW inoLab and Profiline series, this high-quality glass electrode offers excellent signal transmission and the highest measurement accuracy. For complex tasks in chemical research, pharmaceutical quality control or university-level analysis, rapid and stable potential stabilisation is the primary criterion for ensuring reproducible measurement results in a process-reliable and material-friendly manner.

Traditional analogue technology and integrated temperature compensation

The mechatronic system architecture of the SenTix 91 is based on reliable, analogue signal transmission. The measured potential is transmitted via a high-quality, shielded fixed cable directly to the analogue input stage of the pH meter. A key functional feature is the 30 kOhm NTC temperature sensor integrated into the sensor head. This sensor measures the sample temperature simultaneously with the pH value, enabling the connected meter to perform automatic temperature compensation in real time. This reliably eliminates thermodynamically induced measurement errors caused by fluctuating ambient temperatures, without the need to immerse a separate temperature sensor into the sample.

High-quality platinum diaphragm and refillable reference system

The materials-science-based design is uncompromisingly optimised for maximum precision and fast response times. The electrode features a chemically highly resistant glass shaft and a tried-and-tested spherical diaphragm made of special glass. A liquid electrolyte (3 mol/l KCl) serves as the reference system; this can be easily topped up or completely replaced via a sealable opening at the top of the glass shaft. A standout technological feature is the integrated platinum diaphragm. This specialised diaphragm ensures a continuous and uniform flow of electrolyte without the risk of blockages, even with challenging sample media such as emulsions, suspensions or slightly viscous solutions.

Extended geometry for deep sample vessels

To ensure optimum ergonomics in everyday laboratory use, the SenTix 91 features an extended glass shaft with a total length of 170 mm. This design allows for deep, contact-free immersion in narrow-necked flasks, measuring cylinders, reactors or deep sample vessels, without the sensitive plug-in head coming into contact with the sample. The connection to the pH meter is via a permanently attached, 1-metre-long cable, which terminates in a standard DIN plug and a 4 mm banana plug. This standardised plug combination guarantees universal compatibility with a wide range of analogue measuring stations on the market.

Individual requirements & accessories

To ensure consistently high measurement accuracy of the WTW SenTix 91, regular recalibration of the measuring station is essential. Our range includes certified WTW technical buffer solutions in practical dosing bottles (pH 4.01, pH 7.00 and pH 10.01). For the proper care and storage of the pH-sensitive glass membrane during measurement breaks, we strongly recommend the use of the original 3 mol/l KCl storage solution. Should the electrode ever become contaminated with stubborn sample residues during the rigours of everyday laboratory work, we offer special cleaning concentrates for gentle regeneration. Please make use of our technical procurement service when putting together your laboratory equipment.
