title: Quantitative ionophoresis of catecholamines using multibarrel carbon fibre microelectrodes.
abstract: Carbon fibre microelectrodes can be used to measure the local concentration of ionophoretically ejected catecholamines in vitro or in vivo. The method can also be used to measure the transport number for the materials. The concentration measurement takes about 20 ms and can be repeated at up to about 10 Hz without electrode poisoning or deterioration. This paper describes in detail the methodology of the technique and the apparatus required.
