Description

General description

This product has a ratio of silver to silver chloride of 60/40.

Application

• Highly sensitive determination of heavy metals in water prior to and after remediation using Citrofortunella Microcarpa: This study utilizes Silver-silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) Paste (60:40) in screen printing electrodes for environmental monitoring applications (Palisoc et al., 2021).
• Screen-printed graphite electrodes as low-cost devices for oxygen gas detection in room-temperature ionic liquids: This research incorporates a silver/silver chloride reference electrode by screen-printing Ag/AgCl paste (60:40) onto a flexible film, exploring its effectiveness in gas sensing technologies (Lee et al., 2017).
• Simple Portable Voltammetric Sensor Using Anodized Screen-Printed Graphene Electrode for the Quantitative Analysis of p-Hydroxybenzoic Acid in Cosmetics: In this study, silver/silver chloride paste (Ag/AgCl: 60/40) was used to enhance the functionality of screen-printed electrodes for cosmetic analysis (Charoenkitamorn et al., 2022).
• Dipstick Sensor Based on Molecularly Imprinted Polymer-Coated Screen-Printed Electrodes for Single-Shot Detection of Glucose in Urine Samples: This research features the use of silver/silver chloride (60:40) reference electrode, screen-printed onto plastic for biomedical applications (Caldara et al., 2023).
• Simultaneous determination of ascorbic acid, dopamine, and uric acid using graphene quantum dots/ionic liquid modified screen-printed carbon electrode: Utilizes carbon ink and silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) paste 60/40 for developing advanced sensor platforms (Kunpatee et al., 2020).
