Single Junction Mercury Oxide Reference Electrode
Part Number
RREF0038
The standard single junction mercury oxide (Hg/HgO) reference electrode is filled with 4.24M KOH solution. The body of this reference electrode is composed of PTFE, polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene (PE) and contains no glass, making it ideal for use in alkaline electrochemical systems. This reference electrode is well-suited for use in our alkaline resistant cell kits.
Warning: Product Contains Mercury
To function properly, this electrode necessarily contains a small amount of mercury. The maximum amount of mercury in this electrode is 1.8 grams. Use proper personal protective equipment during use. Store safely. Follow all environmental waste protocols and procedures.
