1.1 Description
The Thin-Layer cell is used for amperometric detection with the Ampero-
metric Detector. The Thin-Layer cell especially qualifies for applications
with double detector mode, e. g. if an amperometric detection is followed
by another detection technique.
In the Thin-Layer cell, the sample flows in a thin layer between the auxili-
ary electrode and the working electrode and is analyzed with amperomet-
ric methods.
1.2 About the documentation
Caution
Please read through this documentation carefully before putting the
measuring cell into operation. The documentation contains information
and warnings which the user must follow in order to ensure safe opera-
tion of the instrument.
1.2.1 Content and scope
