R0302 Silver/Silver Chloride (Ag/AgCl) Reference Electrode - 6mm OD

Description

The R0302 Ag/AgCl reference electrode is an essential tool for high-precision electrochemical analysis. Designed for durability and stability, it utilizes a glass body construction with a refillable internal chamber, allowing researchers to maintain the electrolyte concentration (3.5M KCl) for long-term consistency.

The integration of a porous Teflon (PTFE) frit as the liquid junction ensures a uniform and low leakage rate, which is critical for preventing contamination of the test solution while maintaining a stable electrical connection. Its standard 6mm outer diameter ensures seamless compatibility with most commercial electrochemical workstations and laboratory-scale testing hardware.

Features

• High Potential Stability: Delivers a consistent and reproducible reference potential with minimal drift over time.
• Refillable Design: Features a top sealing port for easy replenishment of the 3.5M KCl internal electrolyte, extending the electrode’s lifespan.
• Chemical-Resistant Junction: The porous Teflon (PTFE) frit provides excellent chemical resistance and prevents clogging compared to traditional ceramic junctions.
• Universal Compatibility: Designed with a standard 6mm OD to fit CHI, Metrohm, Autolab, and other major electrochemical workstation cell holders.

Technical Specifications

Applications
