These LowProfile reference electrodes are designed for use with the Screen-Printed Electrode Cells and the Honeycomb Spectroelectrochemical Cell Kit.  The low cost of these reference electrodes also make them ideal for nearly any application.  The aqueous silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) reference electrodes are filled with a gel electrolyte* and have a small ceramic frit at the lower end of the electrode.  The non-aqueous reference electrode has an Ag wire and no filling electrolyte.  The outer diameter of the electrodes is 3.5 mm and electrical connection is made via a 1.0 mm diameter pin at the top end of the electrode.  This pin can accept an alligator clip or a small cable with an appropriately sized "pin and socket" connector.

*The gel is comprised of a mixture of potassium chloride, glycerol, and cellulose gum.

These LowProfile reference electrodes are designed for use with the Screen-Printed Electrode Cells and the Honeycomb Spectroelectrochemical Cell Kit.  The low cost of these reference electrodes also make them ideal for nearly any application.  The aqueous silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) reference electrodes are filled with a gel electrolyte* and have a small ceramic frit at the lower end of the electrode.  The non-aqueous reference electrode has an Ag wire and no filling electrolyte.  The outer diameter of the electrodes is 3.5 mm and electrical connection is made via a 1.0 mm diameter pin at the top end of the electrode.  This pin can accept an alligator clip or a small cable with an appropriately sized “pin and socket” connector.

Three different lengths are available for these LowProfile reference electrodes.  The standard version, which is 74 mm long, is intended for use with our Screen-Printed Electrode Cells.  The shorter version, which is 60 mm long, is intended for use with our Honeycomb Spectroelectrochemical Cell.  Additionally, Pine Research offers an extra long version for taller cells, or cells with long necks, that is 110 mm long.

The Ag/AgCl reference electrodes may not provide continuous good performance in non-aqueous solvents.  The fill solution (gel) is aqueous based.  For non-aqueous use, we recommend the related LowProfile Silver (Ag) Pseudo-Reference Electrode.
