Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Why is the stainless steel body better for cheese?

A: The AISI 316 stainless steel body is extremely durable and easy to clean, making it ideal for the harsh production environment. Its thin 5mm diameter allows for easy penetration into the cheese with minimal impact on the product structure.

Q: How does the open junction prevent clogging?

A: Cheese contains solids and fats that quickly clog standard ceramic junctions. The FC2423's open junction allows the electrolyte to interact directly with the sample, preventing blockage and ensuring a fast response time.

Q: Can I use this meter for measuring milk as well?

A: While specifically designed for semi-solids like cheese and curds, the probe can measure liquid milk. However, for exclusive milk testing, the HI98162 with the spherical tip is generally recommended.
