Electrode Rod
Product Code : LSK-CL-10056
Electrode Rod (SKU LSK-CL-10056) is a 100 x 10 mm electrode rod with a terminal, offered in aluminium, carbon, copper, iron or zinc. Rods like these serve as the working electrodes for electrolysis and cell experiments in school and college chemistry, and switching the rod material shows students how the electrode affects the result. Any of the five versions can be ordered from Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India by schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The electrode rod's size, terminal and five material versions are given row by row. The essentials: each rod measures 100 x 10 mm and has a terminal for a connecting lead, with carbon as the inert option and aluminium, copper, iron and zinc as reactive options for comparing electrolysis products.

Applications and Experiments for the Electrode Rods
Electrode rods are the working electrodes of classroom electrolysis. Carbon rods give inert electrodes for electrolysing salt solutions, copper rods show copper transfer from anode to cathode, and iron, zinc and aluminium rods let students build cells and study corrosion and reactivity.
- Class 10 science: electrolysis of copper sulphate with carbon or copper rods, using a solution made from Copper Sulphate Blue Crystal.
- Class 12 chemistry: electrode potentials and cells from different metal pairs.
- B.Sc. practicals: products of electrolysis with inert and active electrodes, compared with the graphite set-up in the Apparatus for the Electrolysis of Salts.
- Corrosion and sacrificial-protection demonstrations with iron and zinc.
Standard Scope of Supply
You receive one 100 x 10 mm Electrode Rod with terminal in each material ordered – aluminium, carbon, copper, iron or zinc. Connecting leads, electrolysis vessels and solutions are not included and can be added as separate lines on the same quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Rods may be quoted one at a time, as a set covering all five materials, or in quantities for a full class. The quotation confirms packing, delivery time and price per material and quantity, and plates, voltameters or other chemistry lab equipment in India can be included.
Through its Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Science Lab Supplies is registered for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). Note which rod materials and how many of each you need, then send that list from the contact page or keep it in the enquiry cart; public-sector and school tenders are covered on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which electrode rod should I use for electrolysis of salt solutions?
Carbon rods suit this work because they are inert and do not dissolve; copper rods are the choice when you want to show copper moving from the anode to the cathode during electrolysis.
What size are the rods?
Each rod is 100 x 10 mm and has a terminal for attaching a lead. All five materials share this size, so rods can be exchanged between experiments without changing the set-up.
Who supplies the Electrode Rod?
Science Lab Supplies quotes these rods from Ambala, India as supplied items, in single materials or in class-sized mixed sets, and can add voltameters and plates on the same document.
Is a carbon rod for a voltameter available separately?
Yes. The Electrode Rod Carbon Voltameter is a 100 x 10 mm carbon rod mounted in a glass tube with a terminal, and it is offered as a separate product, linked below.
Related Electrodes and Voltameters
These items belong with the rods on an electrolysis bench: flat plates for larger surfaces, glass-sheathed carbon and platinum electrodes, and the voltameters and cells that use them. Any of them can be quoted together with the rods.
- Electrode Plate — 100 x 45 mm plates, with aluminium and lead among the options.
- Electrode Rod Carbon Voltameter — 100 x 10 mm carbon rod sheathed in a glass tube.
- Electrode Rod Platinum — 100 x 10 mm rod whose end carries a platinum leaf.
- Electrode Platinum — pair of rectangular platinum foil electrodes fused into glass tubes.
- Voltameter — base with terminals and two 10 ml graduated test tubes.
- Hoffman Voltameter With Electrodes — two limbs of about 50 ml with carbon and platinum electrodes.
- Electrolysis Cells — gases collected in two 75 x 10 mm test tubes over the electrodes.
