Redox measurement technology

The Redox microelectrode tip will develop an electrical potential relative to the reference electrode when both electrodes are immersed in the same solution and connected to a high-impedance millivoltmeter, such as the UniAmp. This potential reflects the tendency of the solution to release or take up electrons; also called the Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP). The Unisense Redox microelectrode can be used for measurements in salinities from 0 to full ocean strength.

The reference electrode can be either external (separate electrode) or internal. However, we only recommend internal references in applications where it is not possible to place two electrodes in the sample.

*Construction of the sensor with an internal reference involves creation of a liquid junction 1-2 mm from the electrode tip. During measurements this liquid junction must be submersed in the medium in order to complete the measurement circuit.
