Reference Electrode, Saturated Calomel, Single Junction
Part Number
RREF0022

The standard-sized, single junction, saturated calomel (Hg2Cl2) reference electrode is filled with 4M KCl. The refrerence electrode body is 9.5 mm OD, therefore ideally used with Standard volume electrochemical cells. The reference electrode is designed to be pass through a 14/20 ground glass joint and held in place by the included PTFE adapter, which can be adjusted to control the immersion depth of the reference electrode into the cell. Pine Research recommends proper storage and use of reference electrodes. A variety of useful tools for storage and care are shown below.

Warning: Product Contains Mercury
To function properly, this electrode necessarily contains a small amount of mercury. The maximum amount of mercury in this electrode is 1.8 grams. Use proper personal protective equipment during use. Store safely. Follow all environmental waste protocols and procedures.
Compatibility Notice
Avoid using this reference electrode with the following: acids, cations that will form insoluble hydroxides, and non-aqueous/organic solvents
Best Practice Suggestion: Employ a Laboratory Master Reference Electrode
A master reference electrode is a pristine, unused electrode kept exclusively to verify the accuracy of your active laboratory electrodes. By periodically measuring the potential difference between your everyday electrodes and the master in a shared electrolyte solution, you can quickly detect degradation and prevent experimental errors. To maintain its reliability as your ultimate baseline, the master electrode must never be used in actual experiments.
Compatible with Salt Bridge Kit
This reference electrode is compatible with the Salt Bridge Kit. A salt bridge enables use of a reference electrode in challenging conditions such as elevated temperature, solvent incompatibility, and chemical contamination risk.
