  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-001646",
  "term": "Carbon paste electrode",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "An electrode constructed from a mixture of carbon powder and a non-conductive binder liquid, such as paraffin oil, packed into a cavity. This type of electrode offers a renewable surface by simply extruding and polishing the paste. It is widely used in electroanalytical chemistry due to its low background current and ease of modification.",
