Kanichi Copper Oxide SPE - Pack of 20


ET091-20 Kanichi Copper Oxide SPE - Pack of 20    ( click image to enlarge )

These SPEs (screen printed electrodes) feature a carbon working electrode impregnated with copper oxide, along with a carbon auxiliary electrode and Ag/AgCl reference. During reduction, the copper (II) oxide can be converted converted to copper (I) oxide, and copper metal. Suitable for amperometric/ voltammetric detection of sugars, and amino acids.

These electrodes are disposable and are meant to be replaced if fouling occurs. Each new electrode  affords a clean and reproducible surface.
