Redox potential measurements with separate electrodes require the use of a measurement electrode and a reference electrode. The latter will retain a constant, stable potential during the measurements.

• Mercurous sulphate (Hg/Hg2SO4) reference electrode
• Protected by a PVC housing

This comprises a glass tube in which a drop of mercury and mercurous sulphate (Hg2SO4) are placed in contact with a platinum wire. The reference element is filled with a saturated potassium sulphate solution (K2SO4).

Equipped with a porous ceramic junction which allows the reference electrolyte to "sweat" but prevents it from flowing freely.

Reference electrode used in potentiometry, notably for certain assays where a calomel electrode cannot be used, such as argentometric assays in which the Ag+ ions may react with the chloride ions to form a precipitate of silver chloride (AgCl). The choice of the reference electrode depends above all on the experimental conditions for your measurements. This reference electrode must be used with a measurement electrode (BAG1 or XAG1) for correct ORP measurement.
