National Historic Chemical Landmark - 1934

Arnold O. Beckman developed the first commercially successful
electronic pH meter while a member of the faculty of the
California Institute of Technology. This rugged and portable
"acidimeter," which had all necessary components housed in a
single unit, allowed scientists to measure acidity accurately and
rapidly. It immediately met an important need of the California
citrus industry: how to measure the pH of lemon juice. The
innovative features of the pH meter, including an early use of
integrated electronic technology, were the basis for subsequent
modern instrumentation developed by Beckman and Beckman
Instruments.
