Metrohm has optimised its rotating Pt-disk electrode for cyclic voltammetric stripping (CVS) applications.
The electrode permits faster measurements without comprising on accuracy, according to the company.
The electrode, which has a platinum diameter of 1mm, has been developed specially for use in CVS analyses.
It can also be used in research for recording cyclic voltammograms (CV).
Rapid conditioning means that little time is lost on preparation steps; therefore, users can start measuring sooner.
The new electrode features: high reproducibility of measurements; lower background current; and high resistance to concentrated acids, oxidants and organic solvents.
Each electrode comes with its own individual quality certificate.
The test cyclic voltammogram contained in the certificate is a fingerprint of the electrode at the time of delivery.
It can be compared at any time with a currently recorded cyclic voltammogram, allowing users to assess the current condition of the electrode.
The electrode can be used with existing methods without any problems.
Minor adaptations only need to be made to existing CPVS methods in order to get the usual results.
All other methods can be transferred directly.
