What Does HMDE Stand For?

HMDE stands for Hanging Mercury Drop Electrode In Electrochemistry

HMDE, or Hanging Mercury Drop Electrode, is a specific type of electrode used in electrochemistry that features a droplet of liquid mercury suspended from a support. This configuration allows for precise measurements and enhanced sensitivity in various electrochemical analysis techniques. HMDE is commonly utilized for trace metal analysis, voltammetry, and studies involving redox processes, owing to its unique properties such as high conductivity and the ability to form a clean, reproducible surface.
