Electrodes

If the sample is conductive, the base of the Electrochemistry Cell can be used as the working electrode. In this case the EC cell can be assembled as shown in Figure 1.

If the sample is not conductive all the way through, add a brass, Copper or Beryllium-Copper (included) spring to make contact to the top of the sample as shown in Figure 2 . A wire can be soldered to this spring contact to connect it to the working electrode terminal.
