Graphene based nanomaterials as electrochemical detectors in Lab-on-a-chip devices

Graphene related materials have received significant attention as new and advantageous materials for electrochemistry. Here we present an evaluation of graphene oxide amperometric detectors in microfluidics devices and we compare the results to those obtained at graphite microparticles and bare glassy carbon electrodes. We evaluate the influence on peak currents (sensitivity) and peak width (resolution …

Effects of heterogeneous electron-transfer rate on the resolution of electrophoretic separations based on microfluidics with end-column electrochemical detection

We demonstrate here that the electrode kinetics of an electrochemical detector contributes greatly to the resolution of the analyte bands in microchip electrophoresis systems with amperometric detection. The separation performance in terms of resolution and theoretical plate number can be improved and tailored by selecting or modifying the working electrode and/or by controlling the detection …
