Silver Chloride Reference Electrode Probe (1004)

  The Silver/ Silver Chloride or simply the Silver Chloride Reference Electrode (Ag/AgCl). The Universal 9 glass body with a banana jack is our standard and is always in stock. The silver/silver chloride reference electrode is many electrochemists' reference electrode of choice. It is widely used, stable, non-toxic, and robust. The silver-silver chloride electrode's simplicity and fundamental ruggedness make it the right candidate for many commercial applications where the electrochemical potential has to be measured or controlled. It is mainly used with saturated potassium chloride (KCL) electrolytes but can also be filled with lower concentrations, such as 1 M KCL, and even directly in seawater. The Silver-Silver Chloride electrode has been shown to possess superior characteristics to that of un-chloridized silver electrodes when recording low-level AC and DC potentials. Chloridized silver electrodes present less low-frequency "noise" than either gold or silver electrodes. The Kos
