Electrode Rod Platinum
Product Code : LSK-CL-10058
Electrode Rod Platinum (SKU LSK-CL-10058) is an electrochemistry electrode made of a 100 × 10 mm rod carried in a glass tube with a terminal, with a leaf of platinum at its working end. It serves electrolysis and cell experiments that call for an inert electrode in school and college chemistry. Orders for it are handled by Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, which provides chemistry lab equipment in India to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Each feature of the platinum-tipped rod has its own row below. In brief, the electrode is a 100 × 10 mm rod housed in a glass tube that ends in a terminal for a connecting lead, while the far end carries the platinum leaf that meets the solution and acts only as a conductor.

Applications and Experiments for the Platinum Electrode Rod
The platinum electrode rod serves as an inert anode or cathode in school and college electrochemistry. It suits electrolysis of water and salt solutions, where the products should come from the electrolyte rather than the electrode, and it fits the electrochemistry unit of NCERT Class 12 chemistry and B.Sc. physical chemistry practicals.
- Class 10 science: electrolysis of acidified water to collect hydrogen and oxygen, with current from a regulated DC source such as the Power Supply Unit/ Block for DC.
- Class 12 chemistry: comparing an inert platinum surface with the carbon electrodes of the Electrolysis Cells and with active metal electrodes in aqueous salt electrolysis.
- B.Sc. practicals: electrode-process experiments that need a non-reactive surface, and cell work in which results can be set against a zinc-copper Daniel Cell.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Electrode Rod Platinum is supplied as a single unit as described above: the 100 × 10 mm rod in its glass tube with terminal and platinum leaf. Connecting leads, a power supply and the electrolysis vessel are separate items and are listed on the quotation when you ask for them.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Order a single electrode or a set for every bench in the chemistry lab. Whatever the quantity, the quotation spells out packing, delivery time and price, and matching leads, voltameters or other electrodes can be added so the whole electrochemistry order is quoted together by one chemistry lab instruments supplier.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code as a registered exporter and can ship to buyers in Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman and the Philippines. For a price on this electrode, send a message from the contact page, place it in the enquiry cart, or turn to the lab tender page when it forms part of a formal bid.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why use a platinum electrode instead of copper or carbon?
Platinum is chemically inert in most electrolytes, so it does not dissolve or react during electrolysis. The products you see come from the solution itself, which makes results easier to interpret in class.
What size is this electrode?
The rod measures 100 × 10 mm and is held in a glass tube with a terminal at one end. A leaf of platinum forms the working surface at the other end.
Who supplies the Electrode Rod Platinum?
Science Lab Supplies quotes and dispatches this electrode from Ambala, India. Schools, colleges and contractors can order it on its own or combine it with leads, voltameters and other electrochemistry items on a single quotation.
Is a power supply included?
No. The electrode comes on its own. Electrolysis also needs a DC source, connecting leads and a suitable vessel, and each of these can be added to the same quotation.
