Square wave voltammetry for heavy metal ion Detection

Thread Summary

The user is unable to observe the oxidation of heavy metal ions in SWV despite setting the ramp start and peak voltages. The final answer confirms the voltage range across the electrodes (CE and SE) is from -1.2V to 0.4V, suggesting the user check if the electrodes are correctly connected and verify the oxidation potential of the specific metal ions from standard tables.

pRampCfg->RampStartVolt = -1200.0f; 

pRampCfg->RampPeakVolt = 400.0f; 

pRampCfg->VzeroStart = 1500.0f; 

pRampCfg->VzeroPeak = 1500.0f;

I have set these parameters in SWV, but I am still unable to see the oxidation of heavy metal ions. Here, if I am not wrong, the SWV ramp starts from 0.3V to 1.9V, but the metal ion oxidation is observed at negative potential. I have also tried to vary the potential ranges but can't optimize. I just want to know if there are any other parameters that need to be optimized that have a major effect on the metal ion oxidation.What parameters need to take care.Please help me.
