Platinum Wire Counter Electrodes

BASi MW Series: Platinum counter electrodes for electrochemical measurement technology

The counter electrodes of the BAS MW Series are made of high-purity platinum with a minimum purity of 99.9%. They are used in electrochemical measurement technology as stable and inert counter electrodes.

Selecting the appropriate counter electrode for your measurement setup

The choice of counter electrode depends on the specific application and the type of cell used. The platinum wire electrodes of the MW-xxxx series feature a wire diameter of 0.5 mm and a gold-plated brass connector. Electrical connection to the measuring instrument is made via alligator clips or 0.04 inch connectors.

Various designs for different requirements

The electrodes are available in different lengths and configurations. In addition to straight platinum wires with or without PCTFE housing, coiled versions and platinum mesh electrodes are also available. This allows the counter electrodes to be optimally adapted to the respective measurement and test setup.

Alternative Products

Would you prefer a complete three-electrode setup instead of purchasing only a counter electrode? The MF-1051/MF-1054 Standard Cell Kit provides a fully equipped 100 ml electrochemical cell including a platinum counter electrode, reference electrode and working electrode. If you work with small electrolyte volumes, we recommend the MF-2145 for approximately 2–15 ml and even smaller sample volumes with its sample chamber; an MW-4130 platinum wire counter electrode is already included.
