title: Electrochemical artifacts originating from nanoparticle contamination by Ag/AgCl quasi-reference electrodes.
abstract: Electrochemical techniques rely on the stability of a defined reference potential. Due to the need for miniaturization, electrochemical lab-on-a-chip platforms often employ Ag/AgCl quasi-reference electrodes for this purpose. Here, we report on electrochemical artifacts resulting from nanoparticle-electrode collisions originating from standard chlorinated silver wires.
