Working Disk Electrode – PEEK body 6 mm dia., 70 mm long (redox.me)
This is a Standard Working Electrode in which a disk of electrode material (glassy carbon, gold, platinum, silver, boron-doped diamond, palladium, titanium, and copper) is embedded into the PEEK body by a compressed PTFE or PEEK sleeve. It well fits aqueous and organic solvent electrolyte requirements. If you need a different disk material, please contact us.
Application note
The disk electrode is immersed in the ion-conducting solution as a working electrode. An electric current is passed between the working electrode and the counter electrode for a certain amount of time. After the experiment, the electrode should be washed several times with ethanol or isopropanol. If the disk electrode was used as a current collector with other electrode material, or when there are visible traces of material absorption, it should be polished down to the mirror surface after the experiment is completed. Store the working disk electrode in the glass tube sealed with an O-ring (all included in the package). Instruction on maintenance is provided on the Electrode Polishing Kit product page.

Activation furnance for electrochemical sensors
Read moreThe activation furnance is a device used for curing individual sensors of the AC1 type. At a defined temperature (up to 1000 °C) depending on the electrode and sensor materials. When the sensor is cured, the surface of the electrodes is cleaned from surface oxides and organic impurities, which results in regeneration of the sensor or its activation. In this way, for example, old sensors with immobilized enzyme layers can be cured for reuse – see example at the end ot the document.

Hanging Platinum Drop Electrode
Read moreThe Hanging Platinum Drop Electrode (HPDE) is solid phase alanogy of HMDE.
The drop of liquid Pt at 2000 °C forms a drop of Pt. The surface of HPDE has nearly ideal surface which is impossible to obtain using polishing. HPDE has also spherical symmetry which enables mathematical treatment of its response.
The material is not toxic and it is chemically stable. The only disadvantage is HPDE cleaning, which can be, however, in some cases solved by carefull insertion of the electrode tip to the flame of an alcohol burner.
Thus HPDE can be used as reference electrode for complicated electrochemical studies, where it is necessary to distinguish the analytical signal from the signal generated by surface inhomogenities.Hanging platinum drop electrode (HPDE) is designed for measurements with thermostated cell TC4, TC5, TC6 and TC9.
