Abstract

The invention relates to a sample holder having an insulation body (10; 50) and a first electrode (3; 33) and a second electrode (4; 34), wherein the first electrode (3; 33) and the second electrode (4; 34) project into the sample container (2; 32), the first electrode (3; 33) and the second electrode (4; 34) are connected to each other via the insulation body (10; 50), the sample container (2; 32) is filled with a dielectric liquid (5; 35), and the first electrode (3; 33) is assigned to a gas collection chamber (6; 36). The invention further relates to an assembly for the electrodynamic fragmentation of samples (38), having such a sample container (2; 32), a process container (22; 41), and means (24, 27; 39, 39.1, 39.2, 40, 43) for connecting the first electrode (3; 33) and the second electrode (4; 34) of the sample container (2; 32) to a high voltage source (42), wherein the process container (22; 41) is filled with a dielectric liquid (46), and the sample container (2; 32) is arranged inside the process container (22; 41) in the dielectric liquid (46).
