Electrochemical Single-core Microelectrodes
Thomas RECORDING electrochemical disc microelectrodes were originally designed for SECM (Scanning ElectroChemical Microscopy), but they are also suitable as working, reference and redox electrodes for other electrochemical applications like voltammetry or amperometry.
The electrodes are based on unique single metal core fibers of platinum or platinum/tungsten alloy, insulated with quartz glass.
Key features:
- Material: quartz glass insulated platinum or platinum/tungsten
- Unique manufacturing technique offers high reproducibility of tip geometry
- Tip geometry: highly centered metal core
- Signal quality: very good signal to noise ratio
- Quartz glass offers better electrical characteristics as borosolicate glass
- Tip shape: different tip shapes avaible with tip diameters in the µm range
| Core conductor material: | platinum (95%), tungsten (5%) or platinum (99,9%) |
| Insulation material: | quartz glass |
| Tip shape: | (B) disc type (C) disc type (most common) |
| Connectors: | gold plated male pin, 0.8mm |
Matching female connector available from

Features
A special manufacturing process guarantees a highly centered metal core within the glass insulation and a high reproducibility of the RG ratio.
Every electrode produced by Thomas RECORDING is microscopically controlled and tested by cyclic voltammetry. Figure 3 demonstrates the performance of Thomas RECORDING electrochemical microelectrodes. The test results for each electrode are documented by test certificates enclosed to your shipment. The electrochemical active diameter is determined for every individual electrode by measuring the diffusion limiting current. For more information please be referred to the product information (see in Downloads, “Microelectrode for electrochemical Applications.pdf”).
