Thermo Fisher, 043276.BQ, Platinum wire, 1.0mm (0.04in) dia, annealed, 99.95% (metals basis)

Thermo Scientific Chemicals annealed platinum wire is a high-purity metallic laboratory material with a nominal diameter of 1.0 mm, a minimum stated purity of 99.95% on a metals basis and a supplied length of 5 cm. Platinum combines chemical resistance, electrical conductivity and high-temperature stability, making wire stock useful in appropriately designed laboratory electrodes, electrical contacts and materials science experiments. The wire is supplied in a soft annealed condition; its suitability for mechanical support or specialized fabrication depends on the actual loading and process environment. Platinum is not universally inert to every chemical or high-temperature atmosphere, so compatibility must be assessed for the intended method. Cut, bend and secure the wire using clean tools to minimize surface contamination and mechanical deformation. Where electrochemical performance matters, prepare and condition the metal surface consistently and confirm reproducibility against the established experimental procedure. This material is not a preassembled reference electrode, thermocouple or certified electronic component.
