Recent Developments in Polarographic Analysis

Abstract

ALTHOUGH almost twenty years have passed since the polarograph was devised by Prof. J. Heyrovský and his colleagues at the Charles University in Prague, it has only been during the last two years that use of the instrument has been widely accepted by industrial laboratories in Great Britain. Nevertheless, it is now generally agreed that the instrument is of unquestionable value, and the polarograph is taking its place in the equipment of the modern laboratory along with the spectrometer and photo-electric absorptiometer.
