Screen-printed electrodes: Transitioning the laboratory in-to-the field

This short article overviews the use of screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) in field electroanalysis and compares their application against traditional laboratory based analytical techniques. Electroanalysis coupled with SPEs can offer low-cost, precise, sensitive, rapid, quantitative information equivalent results. The combined reduces need sample transportation preparation to a centralised allowing experimentalists perform measurements where they are needed most. We first introduce basic concepts principles techniques reader, particular attention electroanalysis, then discuss common targets such as food, environmental, forensics, cancer biomarkers pathogenic monitoring sensing.
