Standard vs Lab Grade Probes

For our purposes, will the standard probes to the trick? What is the difference b/t the two other than sensitivity?

No need for lab grade. Standard ones work fine. But if you want to spend more money get a probe with a double junction. They last longer.

The lab grade probes offer two advantages:
- Higher quality junction - results in longer lifetime.
- Epoxy seal on the tip of the probe. The seal makes the probe capable of handling water pressure and can be mounted in inline fittings.
