Do I need a C-3 Cell Stand or a VC-2 Voltammetry Cell?
A basic electrochemical cell requires a) a vial for the analyte solution b) a cell top for the 3 electrodes The components are contained in the VC-2 Voltammetry Cell (MF-1052). There is an additional hole in the cell top for the Teflon purging tube (for purging with inert gas to remove oxygen); an auxiliary electrode is also provided (MW-4130). The C-3 Cell Stand is more sophisticated, with purging and stirring capabilities that can be controlled either from front panel controls or remotely from BASi PC-controlled potentiostats. A Faraday cage is also included for protection against electrical interference when measuring nanoamp currents or lower. The BASi Low Current Module and AC Impedance Module plug into the C-3 Cell Stand, which should be purchased if one of these modules is to be used. The C-3 Cell Stand package also include an accessories package (MW-2980), which contains electrodes (working, reference, and auxiliary) and cells.
