During voltammetric analysis of liquids, the indicator electrode must be frequently changed in order to prevent memory effects and resultant changes to basic conditions during measurement. In order to be able to change the indicator electrodes simply, a plurality of indicator electrodes are arranged on a common carrier. For accommodation of the liquid (2) to be analysed, a vessel (1) is provided and the carrier (5) is mounted to move in relation to this vessel (1) in such a way that one of the indicator electrodes (6) can be selectively brought into the area intended for the liquid. The reference electrode (8) necessary for the measurement is arranged in the vessel (1) and likewise connected with the measuring device (20). With that, changing of the selected electrode (6) ensues by moving the carrier (5) relative to said vessel (1).
