title: Voltammetric study of charge transfer across supported bilayer lipid membranes (s-BLMs).
abstract: Stable bilayer lipid membranes on a metal support (s-BLMs) and on an agar gel salt bridge (sb-BLMs) have been formed and their potential usefulness as practical sensors demonstrated. This paper presents the preparation method of s-BLMs and sb-BLMs, and the application of cyclic voltammetry (CV) to their investigation. The instrument and data analysis of the CV are described. The application of CV to the C60-doped BLM system is presented. This technique is a basis for biosensor development, and a useful tool for membrane research.
