BEVERLY, MA - Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world leader in serving science, today announced the release of the Thermo Scientific Orion Green pH electrodes.

The Thermo Scientific Orion Green pH electrodes contain no lead, mercury or other hazardous substance, which makes these electrodes environmentally friendly and allows for easy and hassle-free electrode disposal. The Green electrodes are the first laboratory glass-bulb pH electrodes to meet all the requirements of RoHS. Other glass-bulb pH electrodes are manufactured with glass that contains about 20% lead. Currently, pH electrodes have an exemption from RoHS because of the lead content. We have taken the initiative and removed lead from the Green pH electrodes. The Green electrodes provide precise pH measurements while using the most environmentally friendly pH-sensing glass on the market.

Green pH electrodes offer:

• Worry free disposal - electrodes do not contain any lead or mercury
• Temperature range of 0-90o C " Choice of single junction or double junction
• Double junction electrodes are compatible with samples containing TRIS, proteins and sulfides
• Durable refillable epoxy body design 
• Waterproof BNC connector 
• 1 year warranty

There are currently 2 green pH electrodes available depending on your application 

• GS9156BNWP - Green combination refillable single junction pH electrode, waterproof BNC connector, 1 meter cable
