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).

Questions

1–3 of 3 Questions  

  1. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  2. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/449/386/product-dating-information-mk.pdf

  3. Will product 901773 work for fabricating the Ag/AgCl reference electrode on a 120 nm Au layer, which is electron-beam evaporated on a Si/SiO2 substrate?

    1 answer

    1. 901773 is not a suitable option for making an Ag/AgCl electrode due to the presence of organic surfactants that may not be thoroughly removable base. Ag/AgCl reference electrode or an Ag/AgCl electrode starting with Ag wire is recommended for electron-beam evaporated on a Si/SiO2 substrate.
