Basic Sample Holder – metal contact, 4 mm max. thickness (redox.me)

Basic Sample Holder with a metal contact works as an electrical conductor between an electrode material (free-standing or deposited on a substrate) and an external circuit. This holder consists of PEEK body, pure Tantalum, Stainless Steel 316L, Titanium, Copper or Nickel metal electrical contact, and PEEK screw to fix the electrode. It is compatible with most of inorganic and organic based plates, free-standing membranes or thin films deposited on flexible and rigid substrates. A maximum thickness of the sample is 4 mm. Tantalum is known to be inert to practically all organic and inorganic compounds. Tantalum’s corrosion resistance is very similar to that of glass, as both are unsuitable for use in hydrofluoric acid and strong hot alkali applications. Therefore, in those cases, we recommend the other wire contact variant.  The metal contact can be fully immersed in the electrolyte. 

 

Application note
Generally, the electrode is fabricated by fixing the electrochemical active sample into the holder using a screw. Such electrode is immersed in the ion-conducting solution as a working electrode or counter electrode. An electric current is passed between the working electrode and the counter electrode for a certain amount of time. Metal wire contact is permanently installed in the PEEK body. The holder is designed to be used multiple times. The holder should be cleaned prior to the installation of electrode material.

  • Activation furnance for electrochemical sensors

    The activation furnance is a device used for curing individual sensors of the AC1 type. At a defined temperature (up to 1000 °C) depending on the electrode and sensor materials. When the sensor is cured, the surface of the electrodes is cleaned from surface oxides and organic impurities, which results in regeneration of the sensor or its activation. In this way, for example, old sensors with immobilized enzyme layers can be cured for reuse – see example at the end ot the document.

  • 8/16-Channel Potentiostat for High Resolution Data Logger

    The device consists of a combination of an multi-channel potentiostat/converter (BVT Technologies) and an external USB Pico ADC high resolution data logger (Pico Technology).

     

    The data logger can be supplied in two versions: ADC-20 (20 bits, 8 channels) or ADC-24 (24 bits, 16 channels). For detailed specifications, see the attachment at the end of the document. The device allows measurements from up to 8 or from up to 16 independent channels. The basic output signal is a voltage in the range of -2.5 to 2.5 V. All channels are programmable (the output can be concentration, temperature, pressure…).

     

    After connecting the device to a PC with Pico Technology’s Picolog 6 measurement program installed, the voltage [V] can be processed using math channels and directly recorded in real time as temperature, current, resistance, frequency, % and pressure, see measurement example at the end of the document.

     

    For temperature measurement, the device is compatible with resistance thermometers (Ni 1000, Ni 5000, Pt 1000. Power is provided via USB-B, the maximum electrical consumption of the device is 500 mA.

     

    Device Usage

    • Temperature measurement with different temperature sensor (resistance thermometers Ni 1000, ni 5000, Pt 1000)
    • Voltage measurement
    • Conductivity and resistance measurement
    • Amperometry measurement

  • Platinum Coated Titanium Mesh Electrode with Holder – set of 10 pcs (redox.me)

    The metal counter (auxiliary) electrode is provided in electrochemical cell as a current sink to shunt excess current away from the reference electrode. Platinum Coated Titanium Mesh Electrode is a cheap alternative to pure Platinum Electrodes like Platinum Gauze Electrode or Metal Wire Auxiliary Electrode. Platinum coating makes this counter electrode inert under the reaction conditions and provides catalytic properties. The electrode is installed in the Basic Sample Holder (1 pcs included in the set), which allows full immersion of the electrode in the electrolyte (wet Tantalum contact). It well fits aqueous and organic solvent electrolyte requirements. Electrode size is customizable. 

     

    Application note
    The Platinum Coated Titanium Mesh Electrode is fully immersed in the ion-conducting solution as a counter electrode. An electric current is passed between the working electrode and the Platinum Coated Titanium Mesh Electrode for a certain amount of time. After the process, the electrode should be washed several times with ethanol and dried under the nitrogen flow. Store the electrode in a dedicated compartment to avoid scratching. Discoloration may indicate the degradation (dissolution) of the Platinum layer and oxidation of Titanium mesh. 
    This electrode is used mainly in systems where there is a high risk of its contamination by organic or inorganic deposit during the electrochemical reaction. It is also a cheap replacement for pure Platinum electrode in electrodeposition processes.

  • Working Disk Electrode – PEEK body 6 mm dia., 70 mm long (redox.me)

    This is a Standard Working Electrode in which a disk of electrode material (glassy carbon, gold, platinum, silver, boron-doped diamond, palladium, titanium, and copper) is embedded into the PEEK body by a compressed PTFE or PEEK sleeve. It well fits aqueous and organic solvent electrolyte requirements. If you need a different disk material, please contact us.

     

    Application note
    The disk electrode is immersed in the ion-conducting solution as a working electrode. An electric current is passed between the working electrode and the counter electrode for a certain amount of time. After the experiment, the electrode should be washed several times with ethanol or isopropanol. If the disk electrode was used as a current collector with other electrode material, or when there are visible traces of material absorption, it should be polished down to the mirror surface after the experiment is completed. Store the working disk electrode in the glass tube sealed with an O-ring (all included in the package). Instruction on maintenance is provided on the Electrode Polishing Kit product page.
