L-Shaped Glassy Carbon Working Electrode
High quality L-shaped glassy carbon working electrode
Perfect for use in standard electrochemistry cells for cyclic voltammetry and more
Overview | Specifications | Pricing and Options
The L-shaped glassy carbon working electrode is an essential tool in electrochemistry, commonly employed in techniques such as cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry. Renowned for its exceptional properties, glassy carbon offers high temperature resistance, hardness, low density, and low electrical resistance. These attributes make it one of the most widely used materials for working electrodes.
The L-shaped design of this electrode allows for the close positioning of the working electrode and reference electrode, effectively reducing the ionic electrolyte resistance (R drop) between the reference electrode tip and the working electrode surface. This proximity enhances the accuracy and quality of electrochemical measurements.
Glassy carbon stands out due to its wide potential window and excellent electrical conductivity. It is electrochemically inert, dense, and hard as glass, with no gas or liquid permeability. Additionally, glassy carbon boasts very high thermal stability and remarkable resistance to chemical attack.

Cyclic Voltammetry Basics, Setup, and Applications
Cyclic voltammetry is an electrochemical technique for measuring the current response of a redox active solution to a linearly cycled potential sweep between two or more set values.

Linear Sweep Voltammetry: Introduction and Applications
Linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) is a simple electrochemical technique. The method is similar to cyclic voltammetry, but rather than linearly cycling over the potential range in both directions, linear sweep voltammetry involves only a single linear sweep from the lower potential limit to the upper potential limit.
