Abstract: A dual-electrode thin-layer flow cell is described for voltammetric/amperometric detection. The potential at the upstream electrode is scanned. The downstream electrode is kept at a constant potential and is used to monitor the redox reaction occurring at the upstream electrode without the charging current associated with scanning the potential. Selectivity is enhanced, relative to direct voltammetric detection at a single electrode, because only chemically reversible redox couples are detected. A preliminary evaluation with Fe(CN)63- and ascorbic acid is presented.

Abstract: The operation principles and characteristics are described of a flow-through series-configuration detector. There are two modes of operation for detection. In the collection mode, the downstream electrode is operated at a potential to detect the product of the redox reaction at the upstream electrode. Detection is achieved by scanning the potential at the upstream electrode and then monitoring current at the amperometric detector. In the shielding mode the downstream electrode is operated at a potential to determine the depletion of analyte in the solution due to reaction at the upstream electrode. Similar detection limits can be obtained in both modes (0.1 µM-quinol), which are complementary.

Abstract: An amperometric sensor system was demonstrated for the flow injection speciation of Fe(II) and Fe(III) using a dual-electrode assembly of a vitreous carbon electrode modified with electrocatalysts. The sensor consists of two vitreous carbon electrodes (3 mm diameter) shrouded in a teflon block placed in a thin-layer electrochemical flow cell such that the sample plug reaches each electrode simultaneously. The electrodes were modified with 2,2'-bipyridyl - poly(4-vinylpyridine) complexes of Ru and Os, respectively, for the detection of Fe(II) and Fe(III). These electrodes were operated at ~0.12 V vs. SCE and gave quantitative recovery from water samples with ratios in the range 100 to 0.1; interference was only observed in the presence of Cu(II) ions. The construction of a dual sensor for the highly selective speciation anal. for Fe(II) and Fe(III) is demonstrated. The dual sensor is constructed from glassy carbon electrodes modified with the electrocatalytic polymers, [Ru(bipy)2(PVP)10Cl]Cl and [Os(bipy)2(PVP)10Cl]Cl. This approach allows simultaneous detection of Fe(II) and Fe(III) using a flow injection procedure. The modified electrode system exhibited greatly enhanced performance with regard to response, lowering of activation overpotential and absence of electrode fouling. The operational performance of the sensor system exhibited considerable advantage over existing procedures for the speciation anal. for Fe(II) and Fe(III).

Abstract: Flow-through recycling electrochemical detectors with dual Au electrodes were fabricated using micromachining techniques. Detector cells contained two microband electrodes that were 50 µm wide by 3-5 mm long separated by a 5 or 10 µm gap in a parallel-opposed configuration. One electrode was defined in the bottom of a channel which was etched into the surface of a Si wafer while the other electrode was defined on a glass substrate. The depth of the channel defined the gap distance between the electrodes. The Si and glass pieces were anodically bonded together to create a flow cell. The stability and reproducibility of single and dual electrode cells were characterized with cyclic voltammetry and amperometry during flow injection analysis (FIA). Single electrode detectors had detection limits of 50 nM with root mean square noise in the 3-10 pA range. The dual electrode cells showed enhanced sensitivity over single electrode cells through detection of analyte molecules multiple times as they were transported through the cell. Signal enhancements up to 60-fold were obtained with dual electrode cells during FIA at a flow rate of 50 nL/min. Simulations predict that signal-to-noise ratio enhancements > 100-fold may be possible with appropriate designs.

Abstract: The dual gold + mercury (Au + Hg) amalgam electrode was found to be an effective detector for S-sulfocysteine (SSC). Using flow injection analysis, a 20 pmol mass detection limit was achieved using a 20 µL injection volume. Cystine and SSC were shown to behave quite differently in this detection system. The signal from cystine displayed a dependence on flow rate reflective of simple mass transfer, while the signal from SSC was more sensitive to mobile phase flow rate. The cystine signal was insensitive to pH, while SSC's signal depended significantly on pH. The SSC reduction reaction at the upstream Au + Hg electrode was determined by cyclic voltammetry to be RSSO3- + 2H(+) + 2e(-) --> RSH + HSO3-. The signal monitored at the downstream electrode was attributed mainly to the oxidation of Hg to Hg cysteinate below pH 4. Both cysteine and bisulfite contributed to the detection signal above pH 4.5. The optimum pH for the detection of SSC was approximately 5.2. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A. 22 References

Abstract: The cited methods (apparatus illustrated) have been applied in the analysis of standard explosives (e.g., 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene, dinitrotoluene and N-methyl-2,4,6,N-tetranitroaniline and other organic nitro-compounds) by using single- or dual-electrode detection. The responses of the dual-electrode detector were found to be a function of applied working potentials. The dual-electrode technique, which showed greater sensitivity than the single-electrode method, was applicable in the analysis of explosives, drugs, nitrate ester compounds, nitro-aromatics, nitro-PAH and similar such derivatives. Calibration graphs and rectilinearities of detector response for various nitro-compounds are given. Flow injection analysis - photolysis - electrochemical detection and HPLC - photolysis - electrochemical detection may be of value in organic or inorganic trace analysis.

Abstract: Online, continuous, post-column irradiation provides a useful and practical approach for derivatization in HPLC with electrochemical detection and flow injection analysis. Over-all specificity is improved by the use of a narrower-wavelength irradiation source, e.g., a laser. The resulting selective excitation allows detection of a single analyte in the presence of many other compounds. The instrumental arrangement and system optimization are discussed with particular emphasis on the type and design of the PTFE tubing used to convey HPLC mobile phases around the irradiation finger and to transfer derivative species to the detector. Detection limits of <50 ppb for most compounds have been achieved. Consideration is also given to single and dual electrochemical detection of the derivative species, determination of analytes appropriate for this approach, and determination of organic nitro- and phosphorothioate compounds.
