Glassy carbon lift pin 

Advantages of Glassy Carbon (GC):

1. Chemical inertness – Highly resistant to acids, bases, and solvents.

2. High temperature stability – Stable up to ~3000 °C (in inert gas) and ~600 °C (in air).

3. Good electrical conductivity – Reliable, stable performance for electrodes.

4. Low permeability – Gas- and liquid-tight, ideal for vacuum or corrosive systems.

5. Mechanical strength & hardness – Strong, polishable, and durable.

6. Smooth, non-porous surface – Enables reproducible electrochemical responses.

7. Low thermal expansion – Excellent thermal shock resistance.

8. Biocompatibility – Safe for biosensors and medical devices.

9. Regenerable surface – Easily cleaned or re-polished.

10. Microfabrication compatible – Suitable for MEMS and thin-film applications.
