At TrueRef Systems, we’ve been in your shoes.
As former researchers, we know how essential reliable non-fragile reference electrodes are to high-quality electrochemical work. Our products are based on hands-on experience, and our former lab continues to use TrueRef electrodes daily across a range of applications. That’s why we focus on delivering durable, high-performance tools you can trust. Built for accuracy, consistency, and real-world research needs.
Delivering Precision Through Reliable Reference Electrodes
TrueRef Reference Electrodes
TrueRef reference electrodes offer a reliable, compact solution for accurate electrochemical potential measurements. Designed for durability, stability, and ease of use, they are well-suited for electrochemical experiments in laboratory setups - especially where space is limited. Their main benefits include:
Small dimensions (OD 1.5 mm) making them ideal for microfluidic and confined experimental setups.
Durability and flexibility, ensuring reliable operation even under demanding conditions.
Low resistance and stable potential, providing accurate and reproducible electrochemical measurements.

As the core reference element, we use a high-quality silver wire coated with a uniform AgCl layer, immersed in 3 M KCl solution. The measuring tip of each electrode is made from high-quality, chemically resistant PTFE, providing excellent durability and stability in demanding electrochemical environments. A flexible copper cable provides reliable conductivity and ease of use, while the plastic handle and 2 mm pin ensure a secure grip and connection.
