Universal Electrode Holder
Product Code : EL-E-10984
Quick answer: The Universal Electrode Holder sits across the top of a 100 mL or 250 mL glass beaker and holds two electrodes in the electrolyte for electrolysis and electrochemistry experiments. It takes 6-8 mm cylindrical rods such as carbon, or metal strips 19 mm wide, and has corrosion-resistant brass 4 mm sockets. Two carbon electrodes are included. Lab Exports manufactures it in Delhi for schools, colleges and universities.

How it is used
The holder turns an ordinary beaker into an electrolysis cell. It spans the rim of a 100 mL or 250 mL glass beaker, and small plastic lugs stop it from slipping. Two electrodes hang down into the solution, each wired through its own brass 4 mm socket, so the circuit to a power supply, lamp or meter is made with standard stackable leads.
- Pour the electrolyte into a 100 mL or 250 mL glass beaker.
- Fit the electrodes: the supplied carbon rods, other 6-8 mm rods, or metal strips 19 mm wide and at least 0.8 mm thick.
- Tighten the setscrew so the carbon rods are held firmly without being crushed.
- Place the holder on the beaker so the plastic lugs locate on the rim.
- Connect 4 mm leads from the brass sockets to the DC supply or meter and start the experiment.
Typical class uses include electrolysis of copper(II) sulphate or sodium chloride solution with carbon electrodes, copper plating with a copper strip, and simple voltaic cells made from two different metal strips in a salt solution.
