Chronoamperometry is often used for measuring the diffusion coefficient of electroactive species or the surface area of the working electrode. Analytical applications of chronoamperometry (e.g., in-vivo bioanalysis) rely on pulsing of the potential of the working electrode repetitively at fixed tune intervals. Chronoamperometry can also be applied to the study of mechanisms of electrode processes. Particularly attractive for this task are reversal double-step chronoamperometric experiments (where the second step is used to probe the fate of a species generated in the first step).

A significant development in the methodology of potentiometry that paved the way for its utility in bioanalysis was the discovery of the ion selective electrode (ISE). Conceptually, the ISE involves the measurement of a membrane potential. The response of the electrochemical cell is therefore based on an interaction between the membrane and the analyte that alters the potential across the membrane. The selectivity of the potential response to the analyte depends on the specificity of the membrane interaction for the analyte.
