Preferred Label : reference electrode;
IUPAC definition : an electrode that maintains a virtually invariant potential under the conditions prevailing
in an electrochemical measurement, and that serves to permit the observation, measurement,
or control of the potential of the indicator (or test) or working electrode.; an external electrode system which comprises an inner element, usually mercury–mercury(i)
chloride (calomel), silver–silver chloride or thallium amalgam–thallium(i) chloride,
a chamber containing the appropriate filling solution and a device for forming a liquid
junction, e.g. capillary, ceramic plug, fritted disc or ground glass sleeve.;
