Flexcell™
The most versatile flow cell for LC-EC

• exchangeable working electrode
• replaced within a minute
• available in GC, Pt, Au, Ag and Cu
• minimum cost of ownership

The name Flexcell is chosen since it emphasises the versatility and serviceability of this new thin-layer flow cell in the Antec Leyden program. With this unrivalled design working electrodes can be serviced without tedious dis- and re-assembly. The cost of ownership essentially only comprises the replacement of an electrode. Very importantly, the same holds for completely different applications, requiring an alternative working electrode material. This makes the Flexcell pre-eminently suitable for all sorts of electrochemical analyses like the usual biogenic amines (glassy carbon) but also carbohydrates (gold or copper), peroxydes (platinum), halides (silver), etc.

Applications
The 'consumption' of the gold working electrode in pulsed amperometric detection is a typical condition where the Flexcell properties can be fully exploited, since only renewal of the gold disk is needed when the erosion has become unacceptable. A similar pattern occurs with copper in amino acid or carbohydrate analysis. The halide and cyanide detection on a silver electrode is another example to select the Flexcell. Like the VT-03, dependent on the nature of an application, the Flexcell can be equipped with either Ag/AgCl or HyREF reference electrode. The working volume amounts to only 0.5 µl so microbore columns can be used without peak broadening.

Ordering information
The Flexcell is available with glassy carbon (GC), gold (Au), platinum (Pt), copper (Cu) or silver (Ag) as working electrode materials. 

The working electrode discs are also separately available:
