title: Application of coulometric electrode array detection to the analysis of isoflavonoids and lignans.
abstract: A comprehensive review of the available methods for the analysis of isoflavonoids and lignans in biological matrices based on coulometric electrode array detection (CEAD) is presented. Different aspects such as sample extraction and purification procedures as well as instrumental settings and method validation are discussed. Comparisons with other available protocols using different detection techniques such as mass spectrometry or immunoassay are also reported to underline the versatility and reliability of the detector. Practical notes and tips for scientists working with CEAD are also provided.
