The Apera PH60F (AI312) is a professional handheld pH tester designed for direct measurements on low-moisture surfaces, growing media, coco slabs, rockwool, and tissue samples, as well as standard liquid solutions. Its replaceable flat-tip sensor features a triple-junction structure to resist clogging in fibrous and particulate materials. The IP67-rated, floating design makes it suitable for wet commercial cultivation environments.
