  • Low maintenance reference electrode for electrochemical measurements
    Patent number: 8840767
    Abstract: A low maintenance reference electrode has a liquid junction body with a multiplicity of micron-sized capillary channels extending through the body for transporting electrolyte to a test solution. A viscosity-increasing agent thickens the electrolyte to limit its flow to a rate on the order of microliters/day so that a few milliliters of electrolyte suffice to provide an extended electrode life.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 25, 2012
    Date of Patent: September 23, 2014
    Assignee: Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.
    Inventors: Xiaowen Wen, Hyoungsik Yim, Lori Hrdy, Dawood Bhaijee
