Page 4: Introduction
Introduction The Jackfish Easy Electrochemical “Eel” Flow Cell enables fundamental studies of the electrified metal-solution interface and applications in molecular self-assembly, interfacial sensing, and next-generation energy solutions. It is designed for surface-sensitive FTIR spectroelectrochemistry using the attenuated total reflectance surface- enhanced infrared absorptions spectroscopy (ATR-SEIRAS) technique. -
Page 5: Unpacking Your Accessory
Unpacking Your Accessory We have included a packing list to verify receipt of all components of the Jackfish EEL flow cell. Please inspect the package carefully. Contact PIKE Technologies immediately if any discrepancies are found. Packing List User Manual Eel Flow Cell Base, PEEK... -

Page 7: Assembly Of The Flow Cell
Assembly of the Flow Cell 1) Installing the Contact Pins Use the 5/64” hex screwdriver to install the stainless-steel contact screws (#2-56) into the uppermost screw holes on the front of the cell (Figure 1a). Tighten them until they bottom out at the end of the blind hole. Place a gold contact pin in each hole on the bottom of the cell base. -

2) Assembly and Installation of Side/Top Port Accessories Reference Electrode Assembly Unscrew the cap of the Ag/AgCl reference electrode and fill with 3M KCl using a Pasteur pipette or syringe. Take care to fill the body completely and avoid air bubbles which could cause electrical contact to be lost when the electrode is tipped on its side and inserted into the side port of the flow cell. -

Insert the reference electrode into one of the side-ports and tighten down the compression cap onto the O-ring to seal it in place. Insert the counter electrode into the other side-port and the exhaust bubbler in the top port. The top port acts much like a plumbing stack, preventing gas bubbles from clogging up the flow by providing a vent. -

the largest diameter tubing available on the outlet port. If semi-flexible (aka semi-rigid) tubing is preferred, IDEX Corp. offers two fittings for use with semi-flexible tubing which are compatible with the 1/2”-20 thread: part number XU-655 for 1/4" OD tubing and part number XU-662 for 5/16” OD tubing. The flow cell is designed to use straight threads and O-rings to seal the various ports. -
Page 11: Loading The Atr Crystal
Loading the ATR Crystal After a conductive film is deposited on the surface of the ATR crystal to act as the working electrode, the crystal can be loaded into the top plate of the VeeMAX. If using Face-Angled Crystals, please follow instruction number 4) below;... - Page 12 The microgrooved wafers can be installed such that the grooves are either parallel or perpendicular to the incident beam. The performance is comparable for both orientations for most applications. If one orientation is preferred for a given set of experimental conditions, take note of the direction of the grooves with respect to the side-lengths of the wafer.

Page 13: Fastening The Cell To The Top Plate
6) Fastening the Cell to the Top Plate Carefully install the #8-32 screws through the clearance holes and into the VeeMAX III top plate, but do not tighten them completely yet. Only four screws are required; the two holes under the side ports are tooling holes used in for manufacturing the flow cell. -
Page 14: Installing The Jackfish Cell Assembly Onto The Veemax Iii
Installing the Jackfish Cell Assembly onto the VeeMAX III Once the Jackfish cell has been assembled completely and checked for leaks, the assembly is transferred to the VeeMAX III base. It is recommended to remove the cover of the sample compartment of the spectrometer, to allow for more convenient routing of the tubing. -
