Recent developments in electrochemical flow detections--a review: part I. Flow analysis and capillary electrophoresis.

Recent years have provided numerous new examples of applying flow-through electrochemical detectors in chemical analysis. This review, based on about 250 original research papers cited from the current analytical literature, presents their application in flow analysis and capillary electrophoretic methods. Example applications are also given for arrays of electrochemical sensors in flow analysis and electrochemical detection in microfluidic systems. Potentiometric detection with ion-selective electrodes predominates in flow analysis carried out mostly in a flow-injection system, while amperometric and conductivity detections are most commonly employed in capillary electrophoresis.
