  • Page 46 DECADE II user manual, ed. 11 Prerequisite for a ‘good’ noise filter for data acquisition in liquid chromatography is that it improves the S/N ratio without significant distortion of the signal of interest.

  • Page 55: Pulsed Amperometric Detection

    CHAPTER 7 Pulsed amperometric detection C H A P T E R Pulsed amperometric detection Introduction Several advanced features are implemented in the DECADE II. One of these features is the so-called pulse mode. In pulsed amperometric detection (PAD) the working electrode (WE) is regenerated at a frequency of 0.5 - 3 Hz by the application of a series of potential changes.
  • Page 56: Pulse Vs. Dc

    DECADE II user manual, ed. 11 Pulse vs. DC The pulse mode is quite different from the DC mode: The output signal is sampled during a fraction of the total pulse cycle. During the sampling time (ts) the signal generated at the WE is collected and this value is sent to the detector output.
  • Page 57: Pulse Settings

    CHAPTER 7 Pulsed amperometric detection Pulse settings In PAD of carbohydrates the working potential is applied as a series of 3 potentials. During time interval t1 the detection potential is applied. The data collection occurs within t1, during time interval ts (sampling time). The time difference t1 - ts is the stabilisation time.
  • Page 58 DECADE II user manual, ed. 11 accelerated and a shorter time setting may be chosen. In practise an E2 value of +750 mV during 200 ms (t2) gives good results. The choice of t3 is depending on the potential E3 and the t2 and E2 setting. It is essential that the duration of t3 and the magnitude of E3 is such that a complete removal of the metal oxide is achieved.
  • Page 59: Output Frequency

    CHAPTER 7 Pulsed amperometric detection Output frequency An important difference between the DC and the pulse mode is the frequency of the output signal on the output. In the DC mode the signal has a 10 Hz frequency, in the pulse mode the frequency is determined by the duration of the pulse.

    DECADE II user manual, ed. 11 and B). Matching the frequencies keeps the peak shape unchanged (Fig. 33C). Decreasing the integrator frequency to less than half the pulse frequency, changes the peak shape (Fig. 33E). When the peak width is too small there are two options: either less data points are collected for such a peak, or the pulse and integrator frequency are both increased.

The cell current of the noble metals gold (Au) and platinum (Pt) is stabilised faster than the cell current of glassy carbon (GC), due to a much lower capacitance of the noble metals. For Pt and GC the negative peaks run far off-scale, however the profile is similar to the mirror image of the positive peaks.

    CHAPTER 8 Optimisation of working potential C H A P T E R Optimisation of working potential Introduction A current - voltage (I/E) relationship, or voltammogram, characterises an analyte. It gives information on the optimum working potential, which can be used to improve detection sensitivity and selectivity.

    DECADE II user manual, ed. 11 Hydrodynamic and scanning voltammogram A hydrodynamic voltammogram is constructed when the pure analyte is not available and separation over an analytical column is required. Furthermore, under real chromatographic conditions reliable information about the S/N ratio is obtained In case of metal working electrodes it is also advisable to use a hydrodynamic voltammogram.
  • Page 65: Optimisation Using A Voltammogram

    CHAPTER 8 Optimisation of working potential As can be seen in both Fig. 36 and Fig. 37, when the working potential is increased the electrochemical reaction is enhanced hence the signal increases. At a certain potential the I/E curve flattens. All analyte molecules that reach the working electrode are converted at such a high rate that the analyte supply becomes the limiting factor.
  • Page 66 DECADE II user manual, ed. 11 compound of interest, optimisation of selectivity in this way is not possible and the chromatography has to be optimised. Electrochemical detection differs from most other LC detection methods in that a reaction takes place in the detection cell. Due to reaction kinetics an increased temperature speeds up the oxidation/reduction reaction.
  • Page 67 CHAPTER 8 Optimisation of working potential Fig. 39. At a higher pH the I/E curve of norepinephrine is shifted to the left. Reaction kinetics predict that electrochemical detection is mass flow dependent. When the LC flow is stopped in LC-EC, the analyte will be oxidised completely and the signal decreases rapidly.
