Voltammetry and Amperometry

In potentiometry, the potential of an electrochemical cell under static conditions is used to determine an analyte s concentration. As seen in the preceding section, potentiometry is an important and frequently used quantitative method of analysis. Dynamic electrochemical methods, such as coulometry, voltammetry, and amper-ometry, in which current passes through the electrochemical cell, also are important analytical techniques. In this section we consider coulometric methods of analysis. Voltammetry and amperometry are covered in Section 1 ID. 

Monitoring enzyme catalyzed reactions by voltammetry and amperometry is an extremely active area of bioelectrochemical interest. Whereas liquid chromatography provides selectivity, the use of enzymes to generate electroactive products provides specificity to electroanalytical techniques. In essence, enzymes are used as a derivatiz-ing agent to convert a nonelectroactive species into an electroactive species. Alternatively, electrochemistry has been used as a sensitive method to follow enzymatic reactions and to determine enzyme activity. Enzyme-linked immunoassays with electrochemical detection have been reported to provide even greater specificity and sensitivity than other enzyme linked electrochemical techniques.

A major branch of analytical chemistry uses electrical measurements of chemical processes at the surface of an electrode for analytical purposes. For example, hormones released from a single cell can be measured in this manner.

From 1953, much research has been done on the electrochemical behavior of CDs and their inclusion complexes. It is known that the effect of CDs on electrochemical properties of the guest molecules can be used in potentiometry, polarography and voltametry, cyclic voltammetry and amperometry. The ability of CDs to bond, orient and separate molecules and to form inclusion complexes in solution or on modified electrodes can be utilized for electrocatalysis, electrosynthesis and electroanalysis [78].

Taking advantage of the relative simplicity, ease of miniaturization, possibility of in situ measurements, low cost, and high sensitivity of electroanalytical techniques, various electrochemical detection approaches have been coupled to FIA for the multiplexed determination of target analytes, with either direct or indirect detection. Commonly used electroanalytical techniques include potentiometry, conductometry, voltammetry, and amperometry, among others. Although amperometry has been the preferred option in most applications, potentiometry (Lee et al., 2001, 2002 Suwansa-Ard et al., 2005) and conductometry (Suwansa-Ard et al., 2005) have also been employed (Llorent-Martinez et al., 2011). 

The determination of the antioxidant capacity is based on the current generated by the electrochemical reduction of DPPH during analysis. Since the current is proportional to DPPH concentration, it is possible to evaluate the percentage of DPPH consumed by the antioxidant. Therefore, the analysis of antioxidant capacity is achieved by the decrease in the DPPH current measured at a constant potential selected by the cyclic voltammetry study (or by the hydrodynamic voltammogram). The current analysis can be performed by various electrochemical techniques, such as cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry, and amperometry. 

Voltammetry and amperometry are the common methodologies which are suitable for real time detection of electrochemically active compounds [4]. For wireless transmission of DA level, an electrochemical sensing system based on direct current amperometry unidirectionally transmitted via an infrared (IR) system was developed [5]. However, the IR transmission is easily interrupted between TX and RX if the light transmission pathway has been blocked. An improved one-way telemetric system, called optoelectronic transmission system (OPT), utilized 10 photodiodes as RX to ameliorate the interrupted event [6]. In addition to IR transmission, Bluetooth-based wireless...
