Applications

CF electrodes (diameter of 10 or 30 um) respond with an excellent linearity to the oxidizable compounds and can detect the compounds as low as 0.2 nM. The shorter (25-100 um) CF electrodes are suitable for in vivo amperometric and voltammetric measurements. When used with the MicroC Potentiostat, these CF electrodes can be activated and renewed in sensitivity for multiple use. The selective detection of catecholamines can be achieved with our Nafion-coated CF electrodes. For selective detection of 5-HT, please contact WPI for more information.
