Why Are Modern Electrochemical Labs Investing in Better Flow Cells?
In the United States, accuracy and repeatability are not an option across research laboratories. Regardless of the type of research being done at a university research center, energy laboratory, or within an industrial research and development laboratory, the scientists are forced to use a stable Reference Electrode and a well-thought-out Flow Cell to ensure that the electrochemical measurements are under control. These elements are pivotal to experiments that are driven by ASTM-congruent procedures and best practices embraced by most of the US laboratories. A reference electrode is used as a fixed potential regarding which other electrochemical measurements are compared. Devoid of this steadiness, not even the most developed equipment can provide meaningful information. Meanwhile, a Flow cell , allows the researcher to regulate electrolyte flow, and it allows researchers to control concentration gradients, temperature stability, and access to gases, which are considered impor...
