This free guide offered by Metrohm provides a comprehensive guide to all you need to know about electrodes in voltammetry, including the correct installation and maintenance of the electrode. The guide comes on a single CD and also provides short video demonstrations.
The guide covers the following topics:
• Multi-Mode Electrode
• Reference Electrodes
• Rotating Disc Electrodes
Short videos demonstrate in detail e.g.
• how to adjust the Multi-Mode Electrode
• how to service the reference electrode or
• how to handle rotating disc electrodes
The multimedia guide is available in German, English, Spanish and Chinese. Order your free copy by following the Company article page link top right of this page.

ElectrophoresisElectrophoresis equipment is used to separate mixtures of protein, DNA or RNA, based on their electric charge, size and other physical characteristics, by passing them through a medium such as a polyacrylamide gel, an agarose gel or a capillary tube. Electrophoresis equipment includes horizontal and vertical gel electrophoresis chambers, isoelectric focusing systems, 2D electrophoresis and capillary electrophoresis instruments. Precast gels with a gradient can be used or gels can be hand cast. Samples are run alongside ladders or markers to identify the approximate size of a molecule. Separated proteins and nucleic acids in the gel can be stained or probed with fluorescent markers and then imaged and detected using gel documentation instruments, transilluminators, densitometers and scanners.

In a voltammeter the current is measured in the system whilst the voltage is varied. Usually 3 metal electrodes are required including the reference, auxiliary and working electrodes. In polarography, a subclass of voltammetry, the working electrode used is a dropping mercury electrode (DME). The 2 main types of voltammetry are cyclic and linear sweep voltammetry.
