Try calling Omega, which advertises just about everywhere and has a hundred
brightly coloured handbooks out.  Also you might look at the Beckman catalogue.
I have used both firm's oxygen and hydrogen ion probes and had no difficulties.
Other than the high prices, of course, which is a risk when buying from
analytical test equipment manufacturers.  I know Hewlett-Packard Medical Systems
also makes some nifty probes but I have never used them.
