Electrochemical analyzer

The SEEPR technique allows the simultaneous recording of the CV and the CW EPR spectrum of the radicals produced during the electron transfer reactions (Khaled et al. 1991). The SEEPR technique consists of an IBM enhanced electrolytic cell inserted in a rotating cylindrical EPR cavity. The cell is no longer sold by IBM, but a description can be found (Khaled et al. 1990, 1991). The CVs were obtained using a commercial (BAS-100) electrochemical analyzer while simultaneously recording the EPR spectra during the scan. 

Cyclic voltammetric (CV) experiments were done by using a BAS 100B electrochemical analyzer (USA). APt wire and Ag/AgCl electrode were used as the auxiliary and reference electrodes, respectively, and an ITO substrate, coated with one layer of PS I/PBV LB film, was used as the working electrode with 10 mmol/L KC1 as the electrolyte. An initial potential of -0.20 V was applied for 2 s, and subsequently cyclic scans to a final potential of -1.30 V were done for 10 cycles. All electrochemical measurements were done under an Ar atmosphere at room temperature.

Flow injection analysis (FIA) is a robust method for automating complex chemical analyses (Ruzicka and Hansen, 1988). It is relatively simple and can be adapted for use with a variety of detectors, including spectrophotometers, fluorometers, mass spectrometers, and electrochemical analyzers. It has been used on board ships to determine dissolved nutrients (Johnson et al., 1985) and trace metals (Sakamoto-Arnold and Johnson, 1987 Elrod et al., 1991). Unsegmented continuous flow analysis (CFA) systems based on the principles of FIA can operate in situ over the entire range of depths found in the ocean (Johnson et al., 1986a, 1989).

The electrochemical analyzers are another important family of liquid analyzers. They include potentiometric, wherein an electric potential is measured and the solution remains unchanged conductive, in which a minute current is measured but the system is essentially unchanged and amperometric, in which a chemical reaction occurs during the course of the measurement. Potentiometric analyzers can measure the presence of dissolved ionized solids in a solution. These measurements include pH, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), and ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) or probes. 

In electrochemical analyzers, the ambient air migrates selectively through the membrane and generates a signal in the electrolyte. The electrochemical principle is used as the sensor in pocket-sized portable indicators and alarms. 

A CH Instruments 800B electrochemical analyzer (Austin, TX) was used for all electrochemical measurements and electrode preparation. Glassy carbon (GC) electrodes (3 mm diameter, geometrical area 0.07 cm2) were purchased from CH Instruments (Austin, TX) and polished with polishing alumina solution (BAS, West Lafayette, IN). All electrochemical measurements were conducted in a conventional three-electrode cell using Ag/AgCl (3M KC1) (CH Instruments,... 

Adsorptive accumulation — Organic substances which exhibit -> surface activity and electroactivity can be electrochemically analyzed by adsorptive accumulation on the surface of a an electrode, e.g., mercury electrode, followed by the reduction, or oxidation of the adsorbate using -> voltammetry [i,ii]. Also, the adsorption of highly stable and inert -> complexes of metal ions with surface-active organic ligands is utilized for the determination of trace metals [iii]. In all these methods the maximum voltammetric response is linearly proportional to the surface concentration of the adsorbed analyte at the end of the accumulation period [iv]. In the majority of cases, the adsorption on mercury can be described by the -> Frumkin isotherm /icx=o = 0exp(ad)/(1- 9), where f is the adsorption constant, cx=o is the concentration of the dissolved compound at the electrode surface, 6 = T/rmax is the surface coverage, T is the surface concentration of the adsorbed compound, rmax is the maximum surface concentration and a is the Frumkin...

It was found that EVLS is capable to detect (i) minor signals hidden in major ones, (ii) small changes in ODN structure and the interaction between ODN and electrode surface, and (iii) potentially closed signals (resolution of overlapped peaks). On the basis of the above-mentioned advantages, EVLS in connection with the adsorption procedure fulfills the requirements for a perspective and promising tool for qualitative and quantitative studies in bioanalysis in bio- and nanotechnologies. Therefore, the implementation of EVLS in electrochemical analyzers should be of great interest. 

Electrochemical methods are well suited for molecular diagnostics of microorganisms on the genomic and proteomic level. Electrochemical reactions can be designed to produce a direct electronic signal using a portable handheld and inexpensive electrochemical analyzer (AndCare, PalmSens, DropSens etc.) that is commercially available in the market, without any expensive signal transduction equipment [4].

Creatine and creatinine, along with p-aminohipp-uric acid and uric acid, can be determined using CE on a glass microchip with amperometric detection via screen-printed electrodes connected to an electrochemical analyzer. Creatinase, creatininase, and sarco-sine oxidase are mixed with the sample, so that the actual separation is of peroxide, p-aminohippuric acid, and uric acid. This allows total (creatine plus creatinine) to be determined. The concentration of creatine can be determined in the absence of creatininase.

Sampling and analytical methods are available for very high concentrations of CO in exhaust pipes and flues and very low concentrations in the ambient atmosphere. These include colorimetric devices, electrochemical analyzers, infrared spectrometers, and gas chromatographs. A sample may be collected in a suitable container for analysis at a later time in the laboratory, or the analysis may be carried out onsite. Sampling containers can be canisters or either Teflon or Tedlar bags that can be filled using manual or battery-operated pumps, fii many parts of the world new houses are now required by law to have smoke detectors and CO detectors are also becoming mandatory in some places. Detectors used for such purposes need only be calibrated at the set point of the alarm system, but must be reliable and must be certified by the relevant authorities.
