Voltammetric Sensors

This text covers the fundamental principles of modern electroanalytical techniques. The design and function of all the various types of conventional sensing electrodes (such as mercury, noble metal and carbon electrodes), as well as of special sensors (modified electrodes, biosensors, screen-printed electrodes and microelectrodes), are described from a critical point of view. Particular emphasis is given to the application of such sensors to the analysis of all environmental and biological matrices (water, air, soils, food and biological materials including tissues and body fluids). A series of selected experiments that can be applied in laboratories as well as in student courses constitute the practical approach of this book. Thus, the book should be suitable for students, teachers and scientists in the fields of analytical, environmental and clinical chemistry as well as biochemistry.
