AC1 Electrochemical sensor

Basic amperometric low cost three-electrode sensor with patented structure made by thick film technology.  

Dimensions: 25.4 x 7.26 x 0.63 mm

WE material: Au/Pt, Au, Pt, Ag, C

 

The sensor is formed on a corundum ceramic base. On to this surface the working, the reference and the auxiliary electrodes are applied. The working and the auxiliary electrodes are made of variety of materials. At the end of the sensor there is a contacting field which is connected with the active part by the silver conducting paths which are covered by a dielectric protection layer.

 

A bio-chemically active substance can be immobilised on the working electrode of the sensor to create a biosensor. All sensors can be equipped with heating and temperature sensing elements. Thermistor (must be calibrated) or Pt 1000 (the response corresponds to the ISO standard) is used as the temperature sensor.

 

 

We also offer:

  • working electrode made of polished gold (WE diameter 1 or 2 mm) – sensor type: AC1P.W*.R*, with homogenous surface with roughness less than 1 µm
  • working electrode made of a material of guaranteed purity of up to 99.99 % (WE diameter 2 mm) – sensor type: AC1.GP

We also offer activated graphite sensors on customer request.
