A method for stirring a sample in a cell, comprising:
- providing a cell comprising a sample chamber;
- placing a boron-doped diamond electrode on an inner surface of the sample chamber,
- placing a removable stir bar in the sample chamber, the removable stir bar directly contacting and touching the boron-doped diamond electrode;
- and
- wherein the stir bar can be operated to rotate within the sample chamber upon the boron-doped diamond electrode.
A device for stirring a sample in a cell, comprising:
- a cell comprising a sample chamber;
- a boron-doped diamond electrode located on an inner surface of the sample chamber;
- a removable stir bar, placed in the sample chamber, directly contacting with and touching the boron-doped diamond electrode;
- and
- wherein the stir bar can be operated to rotate within the sample chamber upon the boron-doped diamond electrode.
A device for stirring a sample in a cell, comprising:
- a cell comprising a sample chamber, wherein the cell performs a coulometric measurement;
- a boron-doped diamond electrode located on an inner surface of the sample chamber;
- a removable stir bar, placed in the sample chamber, directly contacting the boron-doped diamond electrode, wherein the removable stir bar further comprises a magnet;
- a stir plate under the boron-doped electrode rotating a second magnet under the removeable stir bar to rotate the magnet of the stir bar;
- and
- wherein the stir bar can be operated to rotate within the sample chamber upon the boron-doped diamond electrode.
