013694 : Reference electrode for alkaline solution

The RE-61AP reference electrode is made of Hg/HgO instead of calomel paste, and 1 M sodium hydroxide is used as an electrolyte solution. It is used under high pH environment as reference electrode.
Also, potassium hydroxide solution can be used as a internal solution, instead of sodium hydroxide solution.

 

Reference potential

HgO + H2O + 2e = Hg + 2OH-
E0=118 mV vs RHE (25 deg C)
The reference potential is the measured value using RHEK reversible hydrogen electrode kit (Cat. No. 013597).

The electrode holder is delivered empty, to be filled with 1 M NaOH aqueous solutions by the user.
Please pay attention to handling.

1 M NaOH solution used in this electrode is not provided, also we do not supply.

  • Holder material: Polymethylpentene, for the high chemical resistance is used.
  • Main body: Screw type to be removable
  • Liquid junction: Ceramic tip

 

∗Keep the reference electrode in a cold dark place.
