BASi Microelectrodes

Microelectrodes are intended for use with the LCM Low Current Module. These electrodes consist of small diameter metal wires or fibers (5-100 µm) sealed within tempered glass bodies. The flattened end of the microelectrode is polished to a mirror finish, which can be maintained using the polishing materials contained in the PK-4 Polishing Kit. The electrical connection is a 0.060" gold-plated pin.

Microelectrodes are available in a variety of materials, including carbon fiber, platinum, gold, and silver. Other materials can be incorporated into microelectrodes if they are available as a wire or a fiber, and form a good seal with epoxy. Contact BASi to discuss your requirements. Dimensions of the electrode are approximately 7.5 cm long and 4 mm OD. Each is visually inspected and tested voltammetrically before shipping.

Does the size of my working electrode matter?

Custom fabrication is available, e.g., 33 µm carbon, 25 µm silver, 25 µm gold, etc. Please Contact BASi to discuss your requirements.
