Installing a Conventional Working Electrode
Notes on Polishing Conventional (Nondisposable) Working Electrodes
•
Do not polish new conventional working electrodes before
installation.
After an electrode has been used for a period of time, a layer of contamination
may build up. When this occurs, the electrode must be polished. For details,
refer to
Polishing Gold Working Electrodes
(Document No. 031154). The
manual is provided on the Thermo Scientific Reference Library DVD
(P/N 053891).
When you install a disposable electrode, be sure to install the correct
gasket for your system:
•
For a capillary system, use a 0.001 in PTFE gasket (P/N 072117,
Pkg. of 2).
•
For an analytical system with a gold, silver, or platinum
disposable electrode, use a 0.002 in PTFE gasket (P/N 060141,
Pkg. of 4).
•
For an analytical system with a carbon disposable electrode, use
a 0.001 in Ultem
™
gasket (P/N 069339).
