Abstract
Electrochemical methods of detection are used for process analysis in a number of important areas, such as in the control of industrial processes, the monitoring of effluents and toxic gases in the environment and also in medicine [1]. The nature of the electrochemical parameter measured (i.e. a potential or a flow of charge) means that the signal can be easily processed by modern digital electronics for data collection and analysis so that any subsequent remedial feedback can be rapidly effected. In addition, some sensors will detect the presence of one particular species in the presence of other species found in the same solution, even at very reduced concentrations and the signal can be proportional to the concentration or activity of that species over several decades, down to, in some cases, the nanomolar level.
