10 pcs of metal wire clip and PTFE plug with expanded PTFE septum

Metal wire clip works as electrical conductor between an electrode material (free-standing or deposited on a substrate) and an external circuit. This clip is formed from a pure metal wire and has a smooth surface. It is compatible with most of inorganic and organic based free-standing membranes or thin films deposited on flexible and rigid substrates. A maximum thickness of the sample is 1 mm. This clip is used in situations where the use of a Tantalum clip is not possible due to chemical incompatibility (HF or strong hot alkaline solutions).

Application note Generally, the electrode is fabricated by fixing the sample into the metal wire clip. Such electrode is immersed in the ion-conducting solution as a working electrode. An electric current is passed between the working electrode and the counter electrode for a certain amount of time. Metal wire clip may be reused. The clip should be cleaned prior to the deposition of electrode material.

Product includes 10 Metal wire clips, 1 PTFE plug with expanded PTFE septum 1 O-Ring (FKM for aqueous or FFKM for organic electrolytes)
