1. A detection cell for a chromatography system, the detection cell comprising:
- a working electrode;
a counter electrode;
a sample channel extending between an inlet and an outlet of the detection cell and in fluid contact with the counter electrode and the working electrode; and
a reference electrode system in fluidic contact with the outlet and including an auxiliary electrode connected to a positive pole of a power supply and a palladium/hydrogen (PdH) reference electrode operably connected to a negative pole of the power supply, in which the auxiliary electrode is positioned downstream from the working electrode and the counter electrode.

Abstract
A detection cell for a chromatography system includes a cell body having an inlet, an outlet, and a counter electrode, a working electrode, a sample flow passageway extending between the inlet and the outlet and in fluid contact with the counter and working electrodes, and a palladium/noble metal reference electrode system. A method of using the detection cell is also described.
