Working electrodes
This is where it all happens
Working electrodes are of utter importance because this is where everything that interests the electrochemist will happen. A large offer of working electrodes are available with a very wide range of size and materials.
9 metals are available: BDD (Boron-doped diamond), C, Pt, Au, Ag, Pd, Ni, Cu, Fe, as well as empty electrodes to host carbon paste that is also available. Different sizes are available from 5 mm down 10 µm. A polishing kit is also available. More details are given in the specifications section.
Note the UME electrode dedicated to SECM are available here:
