Thermo Scientific Orion 9101BN pH Half Cell Electrode, 0 to 14 pH, with BNC Connector

Thermo Scientific Orion 9101BN pH Half Cell Electrode, 0 to 14 pH, with BNC Connector Review

Thermo Scientific Orion 9101BN pH Half Cell Electrode, 0 to 14 pH, with BNC Connector Feature

• Half-cell pH electrode for general purpose use
• Refillable for prolonging life of electrode
• Ag/AgCl electrolyte for less noise (unwanted voltages) than gold or silver electrodes
• Glass body for use in highly corrosive environments and high temperatures
• pH range of 0 to 14

The Thermo Scientific Orion 9101BN half-cell pH electrode has a glass body, a ceramic junction, a refillable silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) electrolyte, and a waterproof Bayonet Neill-Concelman (BNC) connection with a 1 m (39") cable. Glass body electrodes are useful in highly corrosive environments where epoxy could be corroded, or around proteins and other compounds with high surface tension. The electrode has a small hole, for refilling the Ag/AgCl electrolyte, which prolongs the life of the electrode, and provides less noise (unwanted voltages) than gold or silver electrodes. This electrode must be used with a reference electrode, such as the Orion 900100 or 900200 electrodes.

pH range is 0 to 14 (+ or - 0.02 pH), temperature range is 0 to 90 degrees C (32 to 194 degrees F) and body dimensions are 110 mm (4.33”) long x 12 mm diameter (0.47”) body, with a 1 m (39”) cable. Buffer and storage solutions are sold separately.

pH electrodes are used for measuring the acidity or alkalinity of a substance. They are often constructed of glass, which senses hydrogen ions, and generates a millivoltage that is picked up by the filling solution and transferred to a wire that connects to the pH meter.
