IDA(Inter Digitated Array) Electrode



Inter digitated 65 pairs of generator / collector electrodes set off electrochemical RedOx cycling continuously as shown in Fig. 1. This reaction significantly boosts sensitivity of the electrode. Furthermore, samples are preserved when Dual (Red-Ox) Mode is chosen - Not like as Single Mode eats up samples at measurements.

IDA Electrode - Structure

Fig. 3 shows voltammograms of ferrocene samples ((a),(c): 10 µL , (b),(d): 0.2 µL) using IDA electrode ((a),(b): Dual mode; (c),(d): Single Mode). As they indicate, measuring mode makes obvious difference on their responses. Dual mode reinforces reduction current at collector electrodes with increase of oxidation current at generator electrodes. At the measurement (d), response is scarcely obtained because the sample was consumed during the experiment.
