“…A preferable approach, in the interest of simplicity, would be to eliminate altogether the purging process. The possibility of avoiding the removal of oxygen has been demonstrated by using current-sampled dc, pulse, and ac polarography (6), complexometric titration with fixed potential square-wave polarographic detection of the end point (7,8), differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (9), and subtractive anodic stripping voltammetry (10). In each case, the presence of oxygen raises the detection limit of the technique as a result of the high uncertainties in the background current due to fluctuations in the concentration of dissolved oxygen.…”
