OrigaTip sample pellets are precision‑machined, disk‑shaped materials designed for use with OrigaLys electrochemical sample holders. They provide a standardized, interchangeable working surface for electrochemical testing, allowing researchers to quickly switch between materials without changing the entire electrode assembly.
What the Sample Pellets Are
The pellets come in a wide range of materials—including boron‑doped diamond (BDD), 316L stainless steel, aluminium, copper, glassy carbon, gold, graphite, iron, nickel, platinum, silver, and tungsten steel—each offering distinct electrochemical properties suited to different applications.
The sample holders themselves are available with stainless steel 316L or titanium contacts, ensuring reliable electrical connection during measurements. They include a silicone O‑ring (with PTFE available on request) to seal the pellet securely in place and prevent electrolyte leakage
Functional Relationship
The sample holder provides the mechanical support, electrical contact, and sealing system.
The pellet provides the active electrode surface.
Together, they form a modular working electrode assembly compatible with OrigaLys instruments such as the OrigaTrod, StaTrod, and EDI101.
This modular design allows users to:
Swap materials quickly for comparative studies
Replace worn or contaminated surfaces without replacing the entire holder
Maintain consistent geometry across experiments
Why This System Is Useful
The OrigaTip pellet‑and‑holder system is ideal for:
