Ag-AgCl Electrodes
Precision Measurement of Bioelectric Signals. These electrodes have superior qualities in: baseline stability, freedom from artifact, corrosion and moisture resistance
Ag-AgCl electrodes are recognized all over the world for their low polarization, low DC offset, low drift and low noise. Ag-AgCl is virtually non-toxic because very few free silver ions can exist to cause tissue damage. A stable, low noise reference electrode.
Ag-AgCl electrodes manufactured by Biomed Products since 1999 have superior properties because they are made with high purity chemicals. A careful proprietary process results in a fine grain, homogenous mixture of silver and silver chloride. The connection to the Ag-AgCl element is made by imbedding a high purity silver wire in the matrix. The electrodes are then compressed into a 1mm thick sensor and “sintered” (heat treated) for strength and stability. A sintering process strengthens and stabilizes the entire electrode assembly. Standard lead wires are PVC insulated multi-strand copper with internal Tinsel for additional strength. The result is a quality reusable electrode for bioelectric measurements of unsurpassed performance. Performance is significantly superior to gold and silver. They are easily reshaped by drilling, cutting or sanding.
The BioMed electrode is 1mm thick and encapsulated in durable epoxy housings. Our electrodes come with 1m or 1.5m PVC insulated lead wires, terminated with a 1.5 DIN safety socket.
We supply EEG Cap Manufacturers, Researchers, OEM’s, Therapist’s and Distributor’s throughout the World.
Why Sinter
Sintering an Ag/AgCl electrode increases its effective kinetics, which allows it to supply large currents with minimal polarization. Sintering also causes the AgCl to adhere better to the wire.
