Electrodes
Counter electrode
– this electrode needs the least maintenance
of all. A quick visual inspection to ensure the electrode has no
physical damage.
Reference Electrode
– this electrode contains a liquid filled tube,
the liquid can be replenished by using the Reference Electrode
Fill Solution provided in the kit. Perform a visual inspection to
ensure it has no physical damage and ensure there is enough
liquid in the outer tube and that there are no bubbles in the inner
tube. For best performance, the Reference Electrode tip
should be kept wet. Please remove cap before use, and
replace after use. Always place a few drops of deionised water in
the cap before replacing it on the electrode.
Working Electrode
–
the electrode surface should be examined
for cracks and imperfections that will affect analysis. The electrode
should be regularly polished to remove contaminants and ensure
a smooth mirror-like surface using the supplied glass platen,
polishing cloth and polishing slurry. Ensure that the protective
rubber cap is replaced during storage of the electrode to prevent
damage to the electrode surface. After polishing, conditioning
steps need to be undertaken before analysis. The different
Working Electrodes can be identified by the number of connecting
pins and are not interchangeable. Electrode WE1 (6 pins) is to be
fitted in position WE1.
Electrode WE2 (3 pins) is to be fitted in position WE3.
Do not mix up the electrodes.
