Finally, withdraw the tubing or needle used to degas the cell until it is no longer in the solution, so that it does not interfere with the measurement Ossila.com Ossila Limited © 2021...
  • Page 27: Maintenance

    The cell and electrodes should always be thoroughly rinsed immediately after each experiment with the solvent that was used in your electrolyte. Always set the cell to dry, preferably in an oven, before you prepare your electrolyte. This helps reduce contamination of your solution from water. Ossila.com Ossila Limited © 2021...
