These extremely stable electrodes accurately monitor the activity of the TPP (tetraphenylphosphonium), hydrogen, potassium, and calcium ions. Tips are made of 2 mm diameter plastic tubes that are ion-sensitive membran­e-sealed at one end. You can insert the tube into the hold­er and connect it to a pH meter after filling with electrolyte solution. Because tips and hold­ers may be swapped, one tip that is sensitive to one ion can be replaced with another. A new tip may be installed in about a minute. When properly kept in a saline solution, electrode tips typically remain usable for several months. Only the tip needs to be replaced when replacement is required.

Kwik-Tip electrodes are sold separately as well as in kits. Three detachable tips and a reusable holder are included in each "KWIK" electrode holder kit. The "TIP" Electrode Kits include with a 4-foot BNC cable, an electrolyte filling syringe, and three electrode tips for different ions. It is also necessary to use a different ref­er­ence electrode, like the Dri-Ref™ from WPI.

Moreover, you need Part 3508 (BNC-to-US pH Standard adapter) if your pH meter needs a US Standard connector.
