Reference Electrode

Reference electrodes are a type of electrode used in chemical analysis instruments to provide a stable and known electrical potential. They are commonly used in electrochemical measurements and are essential for accurate and reliable results.

In the supply class Chemical Analysis Instruments, reference electrodes are specifically designed to be used in conjunction with other analytical instruments for chemical analysis purposes. These instruments may include pH meters, potentiostats, ion-selective electrodes, and other electrochemical measurement devices.

Reference electrodes are typically made of a stable and inert material, such as silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) or saturated calomel (SCE). They are filled with a reference electrolyte solution that maintains a constant potential against which the analyte solution can be measured.

The reference electrode is connected to the working electrode and the counter electrode in an electrochemical cell. It provides a stable reference potential, allowing accurate measurements of the analyte's potential or current to be obtained.

In summary, reference electrodes in the supply class Chemical Analysis Instruments are specialized electrodes used in electrochemical measurements to provide a stable and known electrical potential for accurate and reliable chemical analysis.
