Exploitable results Exploitable results – Microelectrode capable of quantifying Arsenic(III) in fresh water samples. Result descriptionArsenic (III) detection in freshwater samples was successfully demonstrated using a gold plated Ir-based microelectrode (Au-IrM). The key advantage of this approach is the ability to renew the Au layer by electrochemical control for better robustness in the field.

Exploitable results – Counter electrode based on an ion-exchanger Donnan exclusion membrane for bioelectroanalysis Result descriptionIon-exchanger based Donnan exclusion membranes (IEDEM) were studied here as separators for counter and pseudo-reference electrodes in bioelectroanalysis. The results suggest that such membranes may be used in bioelectrochemical sensing approaches to replace expensive but less appropriate electrode materials for the measurement in matrices that contain lipids and proteins.

Exploitable results – Thin Layer Coulometry of Nitrite with Ion-Selective Membranes Result descriptionA thin layer coulometric detection method based on an ion-selective membrane in view of a quantitative determination of nitrite in undiluted human urine and tap water. A cobalt(II) tert-butyl salophen compound is used as ionophore. The four orders of magnitude discrimination of chloride permits the detection of nitrite in samples that contain a large excess of chloride. The approach developed here allows one to determine nitrite within a concentration range of 20–100?µM for a 120?s current integration time.
