Overview
Electrodes
The choice of electrode can affect the electrochemical reaction, or if you are using an inert electrode you want to be confident of the purity so your reaction is clean and well defined. We offer two types of electrodes - solid metal or carbon based electrodes and an inert, metal free carrier frame to which you can fold onto metal foils. Alternatively you can supply your own electrodes as a standard rectangular size - see below.
NOTE: the electrode to electrode gap remains at 6 mm independent of electrode thickness. Neat!
