text: Scanning Flow Cell (SFC) is an electrochemical technique, based on the principle of channel electrode. The electrolyte is continuously flowing over a substrate that is introduced externally on translation stage. In contrast to the reference and counter electrode that are integrated in the main channel or placed in side compartments connected with a salt bridge.
  SFC utilizes V-formed geometry with a small opening on the bottom (in range of 0.2-1mm diameter) used to establish the contact with sample. The convective flow is sustained also in non-contact mode of operation that allows easy exchange of the working electrode.
