Testing pH in Urine and Saliva

At Industrial Instruments and Supplies, one of our big sellers in pH testing is our Microessentials Urine and Saliva Test Paper. However, one may not know exactly why it is useful to test the pH level in urine or saliva. To further explain the benefit of this, we have found an interesting article on findingmyphbalance.com:

When we test pH levels we are interpreting the language of our body communicating with us.  Urine tells us our history (metabolic) and saliva our most recent choices (reactive) – both are important.  The foods we have just eaten will soon become our history. 

Testing pH levels tells us how body systems have been dealing with acids long term and how well our digestive system is able to handle what we have eaten the night before.  These numbers will not be consistent or match as long as we are eating acidic foods and are living an acidic lifestyle; too much acid-forming foods, stress, smoking, drinking acidic beverages, little or no exercise.  With pH testing you can start creating a healthy history today.

Special Offer on Hygrothermographs

Hygrothermographs are necessary in some industries for measuring and recording both humidity and temperature. They are commonly used in laboratories and even museums in order to control and maintain the internal weather environment. Labs need to have a controlled climate to ensure that their calculations on other tests are accurate and not manipulated by the humidity or temperature of the room. Museums may also need these instruments to help preserve the older art pieces they display that may degrade when exposed to fluctuating weather conditions.

Most of the time, these units can be pricey, but Industrial Instruments & Supplies is now offering a great deal on Oakton Hygrothermographs while supplies last. Compared to the $829 both Cole-Parmer and Amazon sell them for, our price of $499.99 is a steal that can’t be found anywhere else. Check out our store on eBay or call today at 215-396-0822 to place an order.

Slow Your Roll with Speed Bumps

The MLSB2.5 Speed Bump is not only the only free-standing speed bump, but also the only permanent rubber speed bump available on the market targeted for traffic speeds below 10 mph. The unique design of these speed bumps means they will stay in place without the use of stakes, bolts, or adhesives so you can deploy and recover them whenever necessary. But, they are great for permanent applications as well. The size of the speed bumps is fully customizable since you can link as many together as you need and comes embedded with high-visibility AASHTO reflectors for use during low-light or night conditions. The MLSB2.5 Speed Bumps are built to last, made of 2.5 inches of solid, 100% recycled rubber manufactured to withstand extreme temperatures, constant UV light, extreme weather conditions, and of course high traffic volume. It has been repeatedly field tested to take the abuse and compression of extremely high weight vehicles and high volumes of continuous traffic. This makes it ideal for temporary traffic stops, parking lots, parking complexes, guarded gate entrances or exits, construction sites, school drop off areas, or anywhere an effective traffic control device is temporarily or permanently needed.

If you are in need of controlled traffic speeds near your home or business, contact us at 215-396-0822 for more information and ordering. These speed bumps are already a best seller on our Facebook page!
