ABSTRACT:
An improved mercury electrode for electrochemical analysis is formed by a small diameter thread of liquid mercury contained within an inert tube which, at one point along its length, has an short, fixed length of thin walled tubular semipermeable membrane surrounding and forming the electrodes' active surface in order to prevent or reduce fouling of the surface while allowing the mercury thread to be advanced through the membrane to expose a fresh active surface whenever desired.
