- AN-V-231Cadmium and lead in drinking water with screen-printed carbon electrodes
The provisional guideline values in the World Health Organization’s (WHO) «Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality» are set to 3 µg/L for cadmium and 10 µg/L for lead. The anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV) technique performed on the ex-situ mercury film modified Metrohm DropSens screen-printed electrode (SPE) can be used to simultaneously detect concentrations as low as 0.3 µg/L for both elements. This is suitable to monitor the WHO guideline values. The main advantage of this method lies in the innovative and cost-effective screen-printed electrode.
- AN-FET-001Characterization and performance studies of field-effect transistors (FETs) using μStat-i 400
In recent years, field-effect transistors (FETs) have become more commonly used as a sensing platform for a multitude of electrochemical and biological applications. These devices are promising bioelectronic transducers that allow both low-potential operation and stable potentiometric measurements. FETs are now seen as an attractive alternative to using conventional electrochemical detection systems in the scientific community. This Application Note gives in-depth guidance about how to operate Metrohm DropSens bipotentiostat devices for the characterization of FETs and their use as transducers. A single μStat-i 400 device, a small and portable bipotentiostat and galvanostat, is used to demonstrate the experiments.
- AN-RA-002The carbon battle characterization of screen-printed carbon electrodes with SPELEC RAMAN
Carbon materials are a remarkable choice as electrode surfaces. They are not only cost-effective and chemically inert, but also have a low background current and a wide potential window. Physical and chemical properties of new carbon nanomaterials depend mainly on their structure, so their characterization is essential to choose the right material for different applications.Raman spectroscopy is a very attractive technique for this purpose, effortlessly distinguishing information about the bond structure of carbon materials, and, therefore, about their possible properties. DropSens screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) are low-cost, disposable devices, available with working electrodes fabricated in several carbon materials. This Application Note describes how their properties can be studied by Raman spectroscopy.
- AN-V-232Nickel and cobalt in drinking water with screen-printed carbon electrodes
EU legislation specifies 20 µg/L as the limit value for nickel in drinking water. The current provisional guideline value for Ni in the World Health Organization’s «Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality» is set to a maximum concentration of 70 µg/L. The adsorptive stripping voltammetry (AdSV) technique performed on the ex-situ bismuth film modified Metrohm DropSens 11L screen-printed electrode (SPE) can be used to simultaneously detect concentrations as low as 0.4 µg/L for nickel and 0.2 µg/L for cobalt with a 30 s deposition time.The disposable, maintenance-free sensor can be used conventionally in the laboratory with the 884 Professional VA, or alternatively in the field with the 946 Portable VA Analyzer. This method is best suited for manual systems.
- WP-058Virus detection: Fast, sensitive, and cost-effective with electrochemical testing
With significant global viral outbreaks becoming the norm rather than generational outliers, it is imperative that fast, sensitive, and cost-effective testing is available to the masses. Screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) allow rapid, widespread testing of populations for infectious disease, without the need of skilled personnel or burdensome equipment in the field. The possibility of point-of-care (POC) testing with SPEs has been exhibited in several recent studies. Metrohm DropSens combines high production capabilites of custom-made SPEs with a valid ISO 13485 certification "Manufacturing of sensors for medical devices", meaning testing procedures developed on these SPEs can be reliably scaled up for larger operations, with easier regulatory approval for commercialization.
