title: A dual-electrode flow sensor fabricated using track-etched microporous membranes.
abstract: A new dual-electrode flow sensor has been fabricated by piling the microporous membrane electrodes which have 7-10μm thickness. The electrode was prepared by sputtering of platinum onto both sides of the membrane filter which contain a smooth flat surface as well as cylindrical pores with uniform diameters. The electrolysis is performed when the sample solution flows through the membrane electrode, and a generated analyte on the first working electrode is instantaneously transported to the surface of second working electrode which is located at the downstream of the first one. In this case, the sample solution surely flows through the pores of the membrane filters. As the result, highly efficient electrolysis was achieved at each electrode, and the collection efficiency values as high as 100% were obtained in the wide range of flow rate. Good responses to the injections of sample solutions were also confirmed in the FIA system.
