ET1117 Polarographic Oxygen Electrode

eDAQ

A traditional polarographic (Clark style) oxygen electrode for chemical or biological applications. The electrode must be attached to an oxygen meter/preamplifier that polarises the platinum cathode to about -0.8 V with respect to the anode while measuring the current flow. Supplied with magnetic stirbar and spare membrane.

Description

Dissolved oxygen is reduced to hydroxide at the cathode, while the silver anode is oxidised:

O2     2H2O      4e     _____>      4OH

4Ag     4Cl    _____>      4AgCl      4e

and the resulting current is proportional to the concentration of oxygen.

  • Typical signal: 400 ± 75 nA in air saturated water at 25°C

  • Cathode:   Platinum
  • Anode:   Silver
  • Body:   ABS plastic, 12 mm dia x 120 mm long
  • Cable length:   1 m
