Abstract

A half-cell reference electrode comprises an electrode member in electrochemical contact with at least one gelled electrolyte solution which itself is contactable with the liquid to be tested wherein the gelling agent comprises a polymer containing acrylamide units substituted with a group or groups which lower the polymer's tendency to hydrolyse compared to polyacrylamide while providing a polymer that can form a gelled solution in 2.6M sodium/potassium nitrate solution (2.21M potassium nitrate and 0.39M sodium nitrate) comprising at least 75% (w/w) sodium/potassium nitrate solution.
