Stripping voltammetry is a sensitive electroanalytical method used for trace metal analysis. The analyte is first preconcentrated on the surface of the working electrode. Next, the analyte is then stripped from the electrode by oxidation or reduction. This step generates the analytical signal, which is proportional to the amount of analyte in the sample.
