  • Patent number: 4786373
    Abstract: A stripping analysis method comprises a preelectrolysis step during which liquid to be analyzed is introduced into a measurement cell at a pulsating rate, a working electrode is vibrated at an ultrasonic frequency, and the voltage potential between the working electrode and a reference electrode is adjusted to a level which allows the substances to be determined to be deposited on the working electrode. After the preelectrolysis step is a stripping step during which the voltage potential between the working electrode and the reference electrode is scanned through the potential range where the substances to be determined are dissolved back to the liquid and current is measured while the liquid in the measurement cell remains essentially undisturbed. The method also comprises an elimination step during which the voltage potential between the working electrode and the reference electrode is adjusted to a level at which the working electrode is regenerated.
