EMD
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about EMD from 3G Electric.
What pH ranges are available in the EMD high precision pH strip line?
The EMD high precision pH strip line includes several narrow-range formats. SKU 20KM87 covers pH 11 to 13 with 0.3 pH resolution. SKU 20KM81 covers pH 0 to 2.5 with 0.3 pH resolution. SKU 20KM82 covers pH 2.5 to 4.5 with 0.3 pH resolution. SKU 20KM89 covers pH 7.5 to 14 with 0.5 pH resolution. Each pack contains 100 tests. The appropriate range depends on the expected pH of the sample and the resolution required for the test.
How do EMD low precision pH strips differ from the high precision strips?
EMD low precision pH strips, such as SKU 20KM92, cover the full 0 to 14 pH range with 1.0 pH resolution. High precision strips cover narrower ranges with 0.3 or 0.5 pH resolution. Low precision strips are suited to broad screening where the approximate pH is sufficient. High precision strips are suited to applications where a narrower range and finer resolution are needed. Both formats are supplied in packs of 100 tests.
What is the shelf life and storage requirement for EMD pH strips?
The product data provided for the EMD pH strip SKUs does not specify shelf life or storage conditions. As with colorimetric indicator strips generally, storage in a dry environment away from direct sunlight and chemical vapors is typical practice. Buyers should refer to the manufacturer's documentation for specific storage and expiry information. 3G Electric can provide the manufacturer part number for each SKU to support documentation requests.
Can EMD pH strips be used for regulatory compliance testing?
EMD pH strips are colorimetric dip-and-read indicators. They provide a visual indication of pH and do not produce a calibrated electronic signal or a documented measurement record. For regulatory compliance testing that requires calibration records, traceability, or continuous data, an electronic pH meter with calibration buffers is typically used. EMD strips are suited to routine screening, process checks, and educational use where a rapid indication is sufficient.
What is the pack quantity for EMD pH strips?
Each pack of EMD pH strips contains 100 tests. This applies to the high precision SKUs 20KM87, 20KM81, 20KM82, and 20KM89, as well as the low precision SKU 20KM92. The 100-test pack size supports routine testing schedules and multiple sampling points. For volume or recurring orders, 3G Electric can provide a quotation based on the required part numbers and quantities.
How does 3G Electric support the EMD pH strip line?
3G Electric supplies the EMD pH strip range with part-number-level identification, including manufacturer part numbers such as EMD 1.09545.0001, EMD 1.09540.0001, EMD 1.09541.0001, EMD 1.09532.0001, and 1.09535.0007. Support includes global logistics, quotation for volume or recurring orders, and matching of part numbers to the required pH range and resolution. 3G Electric distributes EMD products and does not manufacture them.
