Glassy carbon is used as an electrode material in electrochemistry. It is also used as high temperature crucibles. Used as a component of some prosthetic devices. Used electrical conductor ion-selective membrane. It is also used as wet decomposition procedures in analytical chemistry.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

Subjected to a high temperature heat treatment which imparts special material properties including significantly improved corrosion resistance and strength.

Glassy carbon offers:

• Resistance to all wet decomposition agents
• No memory effects (uncontrolled adsorption and release of foreign elements)
• No contamination of analytical samples
• Stability to acid and alkaline melts
• No wetting effect of metal melts
• Good resistance to thermal shock allows rapid heating and cooling times
• Resistive to abrasive wear
• Good electrical conductivity
