A new dual-electrode flow sensor has been fabricated by piling the microporous membrane electrodes which have 7-10μm thickness. The electrode was prepared by sputtering of platinum onto both sides of the membrane filter which contain a smooth flat surface as well as cylindrical pores with uniform diameters. The electrolysis is performed when the sample solution flows through the membrane electrode, and a generated analyte on the first working electrode is instantaneously transported to the surface of second working electrode which is located at the downstream of the first one. In this case, the sample solution surely flows through the pores of the membrane filters. As the result, highly efficient electrolysis was achieved at each electrode, and the collection efficiency values as high as 100% were obtained in the wide range of flow rate. Good responses to the injections of sample solutions were also confirmed in the FIA system.

Choline (Ch) and phosphocholine (PCh) levels in tissues are associated to tissue growth and so to carcinogenesis. Till now, only highly sophisticated and expensive techniques like those based on NMR spectroscopy or GC/LC- high resolution mass spectrometry permitted Ch and PCh analysis but very few of them were capable of a simultaneous determination of these analytes. Thus, a never reported before amperometric biosensor for PCh analysis based on choline oxidase and alkaline phosphatase co-immobilized onto a Pt electrode by co-crosslinking has been developed.

The electrochemical flow cell containing track-etched microporous membrane electrodes was applied to a dual-electrode coulometric detector for microbore/capillary HPLC with a small injection volume and low eluent flow rate. The proposed flow cell with a 0.1-mm diameter inlet channel gave a detection volume of 0.

The combined use of a dual-UV detector as well as a fluorimetric and a multielectrode electrochemical detector (equipped with a dual electrode, consisting of a conventional size 3 mm diameter glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and of a pair of 30 μm thick carbon microfibers) is proposed for the detection of the following 15 underivatized amino acids: L-histidine (His), L-cysteine (Cys), creatine (Crn), S-methyl-L-cysteine (Me-Cys), DL-homocysteine (Hcy), L-methionine (Met), beta-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-L-alanine (DOPA), L-tyrosine (Tyr), DL-m-tyrosine (m-Tyr), L-a-methyl-DOPA (Me-DOPA), L-phenylalanine (Phe), DL-alpha-methyltyrosine (Me-Tyr), 5-hydroxy-tryptophan (5-HTP), 3-nitro-L-tyrosine (NOTyr), and L-tryptophan (Trp), as well as of 2 dipeptides L-cystathionine (Cysta) and L-carnosine (Car), and of creatinine (Cre). A multilinear solvent (acetonitrile) gradient elution program, determined by a simple optimization algorithm, is required for the efficient reversed-phase separation of the above mixture of 18 solutes within 27 min at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min and at 25 °C.

A simple and sensitive device is presented based on the use of pencil-drawn paper based electrochemical detector placed at the end of a cotton thread fluidic channel in wall-jet configuration. This innovative and fast responding electroanalytical system can be adopted for both single and dual electrode electrochemical detection, this last achieved by applying two different potentials at two independent working electrodes drawn on the opposite faces of the paper based detector. Its performance was preliminarily optimized by adopting hexacyanoferrate(II) as probe species undergoing reversible electrochemical processes.
