6 mm Dia. Saturated Calomel Non-Refillable Reference Electrode, 30mm long

Introduction

The Saturated Calomel Non-Refillable Reference Electrode offers a standard of excellence for researchers requiring high precision and long-term stability in electrochemical measurements. Renowned for their exceptional reproducibility, these electrodes provide a dependable reference point across a diverse range of experimental conditions. 

Key Features

• Exceptional Long-Term Stability: Mercury-based systems are prized for their consistent potential over time, ensuring that longitudinal data remains accurate and reproducible.

• Wide Potential Range: Offers a broad operating window, allowing researchers to explore a wide spectrum of electrochemical processes without compromising reference integrity.

• Low Oxygen Sensitivity: These electrodes are significantly less susceptible to interference from dissolved oxygen compared to alternative reference systems, a critical advantage for oxygen-sensitive or anaerobic experiments.

• Reliable Performance: Designed to minimize drift, providing a "gold standard" reference point that maintains accuracy even under demanding experimental protocols.

Application Note

The reference electrode should be stored with the rubber plug applied on the tip. Please see the complete instructions here. Keeping in the electrolyte may shorten its lifetime; the electrode operates well as long as there is at least ¼ of the solution in the electrode tube. Before use, rinse it with deionized water. If air bubbles are present around the porous frit, flick the tip several times to remove them. For cleaning, use detergent, alcohols or acetone and rinse it with deionized water. This reference electrode cannot be re-filled.
Despite mercury-based reference electrode advantages, it's essential to note that the use of mercury-based reference electrodes has raised environmental concerns due to the toxicity of mercury. Please use it responsibly to prevent environmental contamination and harm to human health. When it is no longer suitable for use, dispose according to local regulations. Always prioritize safety and seek guidance from appropriate authorities to ensure the responsible and environmentally friendly disposal of mercury-containing items.
