Abstract: | A flow-through voltammetric cell with a hanging mercury drop electrode has been developed to fit the static mercury drop electrode (PAR 303). The design has resulted in a linear increase of sensitivity with flow rate and an enhancement of sensitivity by the wall-jet effect. The cell is used in a flow injection system in which samples are introduced with a R??i?ka—Hansen injector. The mercury drop is held at plating potentials while the sample peak passes through the cell. Stripping is done under stopped flow conditions, to reduce noise, after the sample has been washed completely from the cell. The stripping thus takes place into the carrier electrolyte which always has a constant composition independent of sample constituents. Film-forming interfering species will, however, remain on the surface of the mercury drop. The effect of medium exchange on films produced by l-cysteine is reported. The flow-through medium exchange simplifies deaeration, speeds up analysis and reduces contamination. |
