Attention: Polishing with PK-3 is the most appropriate way to clean up electrode surface. Please consult us when other methods are applied.Please, don't use poor quality alumina, as it is not enough efficient for polishing.
For the electrodes listed below,
Catalog No. | Description | Isolation | OD | ID |
002252 | PGBE Pyrolytic Graphite Electrode (Basal Plane) | PEEK | 6 mm | 3 mm |
002253 | PGEE Pyrolytic Graphite Electrode (Edge Plane) | PEEK | 6 mm | 3 mm |
002408 | PFCE 3 Carbon electrode | PEEK | 6 mm | 3 mm |
002409 | PFCE 1 Carbon electrode | PEEK | 6 mm | 1 mm |
011854 | SPFCE Carbon electrode | PEEK | 3 mm | 1 mm |
∗For the PGBE electrode (Cat. No. 002252), because of the material characteristics, it is difficult to keep the perfect basal surface. For the precise PGBE basal surface treatment evaluation, you can have the publications below as a reference.
The assessment of the basal and edge surface is done by measuring the Raman spectra. This method is reported in the last two publications mentioned above.
∗notice
Do not polish with a finer grade of emery paper ( #6000 etc.). PFCE electrode does not need mirror finishing like a GC electrode.
