Thin-film single-electrodes

Product catalog summary

Thin-film Single-electrodes Overview
Thin-film electrodes are precision-manufactured using thin-film technologies on a glass substrate, with a protective SU-8 resin layer. They are available in standard dimensions of 10 x 6 x 0.75 mm and are designed for use with small sample volumes (1-5 µL). The electrodes are made from platinum or gold, offering high sensitivity and low reagent consumption.

Electrode Features and Applications
These electrodes are supplied in packs of 50 units and should be stored at room temperature in a dry place. They are suitable for various applications, including flow systems, microfluidics, electroanalysis, nanotechnology, and biosensors. The electrodes utilize a three-electrode system (working, reference, and auxiliary) and require pre-cleaning for optimal performance.

Pre-cleaning Protocol
Metal-based electrodes require electrochemical surface pre-cleaning. For gold-based electrodes, caution is advised against using chloride-based solutions outside the potential range of -0.3 to 0.6 V, as this can cause gold to peel off.

Performance and Testing
Performance testing includes cyclic voltammetry for various compounds, demonstrating consistent results across different electrodes and conditions. The tests highlight the electrodes' reliability and reproducibility.

Accessories and Platforms
The drop-cell connector and All-in-One (AIO) platform enhance usability, allowing for microvolume sample handling and compatibility with commercial potentiostats. The AIO platform supports both static and dynamic conditions, with interchangeable add-ons available in materials like PMMA and PEEK for different analytical needs.

Contact Information
MicruX Technologies provides these solutions from their facility in Gijón, Spain, and can be contacted via their website or phone for further information.

Thin-film single-electrodes » Electrochemical cell Platinum (Ref. ED-SE1-Pt) & Gold (Ref. ED-SE1-Au) thin-film electrochemical sensors are based on a three-electrodes (working – WE, reference – RE and auxiliary – AE) approach. Metal-based electrodes require an (electro)chemical surface pre-cleaning before using them in order to get the best performance. BASIC PRE-CLEANING PROTOCOL Gold-based thin-film electrodes may not be used with chloride-based between -1.5 and +1.5 V (at least 10 cycles); sweep solutions.
