See below for a complete description of the differences. The junction also known as a salt bridge is necessary component of the electrical circuit. The movement of ions must flow through the junction for a steady reading. The outer reference has a single ceramic frit. The ceramic is a porous material that is easily fused with the glass body and has a similar expansion coefficient. A single ceramic junction has a flow rate of 15-20 μL\/hour. Other junction types are available with higher flow rates and made with different materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; align-items: flex-start; gap: 16px 24px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex: 0 0 140px; max-width: 100%; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1086\/9535\/5761\/files\/fc100-refill.png\" alt=\"refillable\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: block; max-width: 100%; height: auto; margin: 0 auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex: 1 1 200px; min-width: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin: 0 0 8px; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.3;\"\u003eRefillable\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FC1013 is a refillable probe.

As depicted by the figure above,  these electrodes have only a single junction between the internal reference wire and the external solution. Under adverse conditions,  such as high pressure,  high temperature,  highly acidic or alkaline solutions,  the positive flow of the electrolyte through the junction is often reversed resulting in the ingress of sample solution into the reference compartment. If this is left unchecked,  the reference electrode can become contaminated,  leading to complete electrode failure. Another potential problem with single junction electrodes is the clogging of the junction due to silver chloride (AgCl) precipitation. Silver can be easily precipitate in samples that contain Tris buffer or heavy metals. When the electrolyte solution makes contact with the sample,  some AgCl will precipitate on the external face of the junction. The result is drifty readings obtained from the sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHanna's double junction system,  as the name implies,  has two junctions,  only one of which is in contact with the sample as shown in the figure. Under adverse conditions,  the same tendency of sample ingress is evident. However,  as the reference electrode system is separated physically from the intermediate electrolyte area,  the contamination of the electrode is minimized. The likelihood of clogging of the junction is also reduced with a double junction electrode since the outer reference cell uses a fill solution that is \"silver-free\". Since there is no silver present,  there is no precipitate forming to clog the junction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e FC1013\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eName\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e PVDF Body Foodcare pH Electrode with Quick Connect DIN Connector for Dairy Products - FC1013\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReference Cell Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e double, Ag\/AgCl\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJunction Type\/Flow Rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e ceramic, single \/ 15-20 µL\/h\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRefill Electrolyte\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e 3.5M KCl\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBody Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e PVDF\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGlass Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e general purpose (GP)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTip \/ Shape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e spheric (dia: 7.5 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMatching Pin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e no\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax.
