There has not been a formal study to evaluate an upper temperature limit for this product. The platinum metal itself remains stable at very high temperatures due to its high melting point. The electrode is mounted in a PCTFE body, which may experience thermal expansion. Thermal expansion at the connection to the PCTFE body at elevated temperatures could potentially result in the electrode becoming loose.

General description
Platinum Wire Auxiliary Electrode (7.5 cm), with gold-plated connector, mounted in CTFE cylinder.
Application
Platinum wire counter electrodes (also known as auxiliary electrodes) are widely used in standard electrochemistry cells for cyclic voltammetry, linear sweep voltammetry, and other electrochemical techniques. They are favoured over others largely due to their low price and resistance to oxidation, solvents and acids.

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

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

Hello, I have doubts about the size of the electrode. 7.5 cm means the whole size of the electrode, or Pt wire only? Actually, we are using Pt Wire Electrode (0.5x50), but I want to buy more than that size.
1 answer-
According to the manufacturer BASi Research Products, this product is a 7.5 cm long platinum wire (0.5 mm diameter) auxiliary/counter electrode.
