title: Voltammetric monitoring of transient hydrodynamic flow profiles in microfluidic flow cells.
abstract: We consider the transition to steady-state flow in the inlet region of a hydrodynamic channel cell and show that a microelectrode positioned within this inlet region allows chronoamperometric results to be recorded, from which information about the extent of the development of the flow profile may be deduced as well as information about the precise dimensions of the microfluidic channel.
