  • Page 4: Product Description

    ECC-Opto-Std-Aqu 1 Product description The ECC-Opto-Std-Aqu test cell is a version of the ECC-Opto-Std test cell specialized to highly corrosive aqueous and non-lithium aprotic electrolytes. For this purpose, current collectors are made of gold (optional nickel or platinum) replacing stainless steel. One restriction must be noted: Gold current collectors are not fully compatible with aprotic lithium based electrolytes, as lithium may alloy with gold at very low potentials.

  • Page 7: Safety Precautions

    User Manual ECC-Opto-Std-Aqu 3 Safety precautions Use proper safety precautions when using hazardous electrode materials and electrolytes. Wear protective glasses and gloves to protect you against electrolyte that may accidentally spill out during filling and disassembly. Upon cell disassembly, dispose al l materials properly.
  • Page 8 User Manual ECC-Opto-Std-Aqu 12. Fill the cell with electrolyte (e.g. 3 sulfuric acid) according to the following procedure: Connect the provided transfer line to port B.  Charge a 5 ml syringe with ca. 0.2 ml of electrolyte.  NOTE: We recommend single-use PP plastic syringes with low friction silicone pistons.
  • Page 9: Disassembly And Cleaning

    Wear appropriate protection equipment, goggles and gloves. Clean all cell parts right after disassembly. Leaving cell parts in contact with ambient  atmosphere while still being wetted with electrolyte may result in severe corrosion. 6 Windows for ECC-Opto-Std-Aqu ECC-Opto Borosilicate glass window (standard) List of Components: Glass window (1 pc, 22 x 0.3 mm)
