Full silver tetrafluoride/silver chloride electrode R0301, PTFE, 65 mm

Rp123.00

Our R0301 is a specific model of a silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) reference electrode featuring an all-PTFE body, designed for use in aggressive chemical environments. The term "silver tetrafluoride" appears to be a common mistranslation or misnomer in some commercial listings for the full name "polytetrafluoroethylene silver chloride electrode". 

Key Specifications:

  • Electrode Type: Silver/Silver Chloride (Ag/AgCl) reference electrode.

  • Body Material: The entire electrode rod is made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).

  • Rod Diameter: The standard diameter for the R0301 model is 8 mm.

  • Filling Solution: It is typically filled with a 3.5 M Potassium Chloride (KCl) solution.

  • Electrode Potential: The potential is approximately +0.2046 V versus the Normal Hydrogen Electrode (NHE) at

    25∘C25 raised to the composed with power cap C

    25∘𝐶

    .

  • Working Temperature: It is specified for operation up to

    40∘C40 raised to the composed with power cap C

    40∘𝐶

    . 

Primary Applications :

  • Corrosive Environments: Essential for experiments involving strong acids or bases that would damage standard glass-bodied electrodes.

  • High-Purity Analysis: Used to prevent the leaching of metal ions from glass that could interfere with sensitive analytical measurements like ICP-MS.

  • General Potentiometry/Voltammetry: Provides a stable, reliable reference potential for general electrochemical measurements as a non-mercury alternative to calomel electrodes.

  • In-situ Measurements: Can be used in conjunction with the sealed PTFE electrochemical cells to maintain a controlled, contaminant-free environment.
