A new method for manufacturing carbon-fibre microelectrodes.
A new, fast and low-cost method using a carbon-fibre microelectrode is proposed. The microelectrode is constructed by glueing one or more carbon fibres (5 mm in diameter) with a silver resin on a silver wire or stainless steel tube. The characteristics of that microelectrode have been measured and compared with those of commercially available glass carbon-fibre microelectrodes. According to our measures, the impedance, capacity and current noise were lowered which permits these electrodes to be used in voltammetry and in detection of very low currents generated during formation of antigen-antibody complex.
