Stripping Voltammetry How To Guide

The document outlines the 7 step process for performing stripping voltammetry using a VersaStat and VersaStudio software: 1) use auxiliary interface to turn on purge, 2) set time delay to allow purging, 3) use auxiliary interface to disable purge and enable dispense and stir, 4) perform deposition with cell and stirrer on, 5) use auxiliary interface to disable stir while keeping cell on, 6) set equilibration time to allow settling, 7) set scan type and parameters.

How To Guide

Performing Stripping Voltammetry with a VersaStat and


VersaStudio Software

Stripping Voltammetry with a Model 303A mercury electrode can be performed using a series of actions in VersaStudio.
Below is a description of each step. The 303A should be set to HDME mode using the mode switch on the front of the
303A unit.

This is the sequence of steps needed to perform the stripping SWV voltammetry experiment.

Step 1 Use the Auxiliary Interface action to turn on the Purge function of the 303A.

Step 2 Use the Time Delay action to set a time to allow the system to purge.

Step 3 Use the Auxiliary Interface action to disable the purge function of the 303A and to Enable the Dispense function,
which dispenses the drop, and the Stir function.

Step 4 Perform a Deposition with the Cell ON and the Stirrer ON (-1V in this example). Note that the cell is set to remain
on after this step. You need the potential on the Hg drop to remain constant so the components do not oxidize back into the
electrolyte.

Step 5 Use the Auxiliary Interface to disable the stir function of the 303A. The cell should remain on during this step due
to the setting in Step 4.

Step 6 Use the Equilibration action to set a period of time to allow the solution to settle after stirring (5s in this example).
Note that the cell is on here as well and should be set to the value in the previous steps (in this example 1V). It should also
be set to Leave Cell ON.

Step 7 Set the type of scan you want (SWV in this example) and the appropriate parameters for the action.
