The article entitled "Evaluation of the Analytical Performance of the Coulometry-Based Optium Omega Blood Glucose Meter", by Solnica and colleagues in this issue of Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology demonstrates that the Optium Omega blood glucose meter meets the analytical requirements for glucose meter performance and it is stated that the results are clinically useful. The authors s...

The porosity of platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) is explored for the first time using tag-redox coulometry (TRC). This is achieved by monitoring the reduction of the 4-nitrobenzenethiol (NTP)-tagged PtNPs on carbon electrodes via both immobilisation and nanoimpacts. The average charge per impact is measured and attributed to the reduction of NTP adsorbed on individual PtNPs. The number of NTP mol...

The electrochemical oxidation of iodide ion in the presence of 4-hydroxycoumarin (1) was studied using cyclic voltammetry and controlled-potential coulometry. The result indicates that the resulting iodine takes part in a halogenation reaction and reacts with 4-hydroxycoumarin (1). According to the obtained results, a new and simple coulometric titration method with potentiometric end-point det...

An automated device for voltammetric measurements at a prescribed set of constant temperatures was put together in our institute. It allows one to take steady-state current-potential curves in the potentiostatic or galvanostatic mode, to do cyclic voltammetry or coulometry at constant potential or to measure the potential-time dependence at a constant current. A special holder for the solid ele...

Abstract. Smear slide petrography has been a standard technique during scientific ocean drilling expeditions to characterize sediment composition and classify types, but presentation of these percent estimates track downcore trends in become less frequent over the past 2 decades. We compare semi-quantitative smear physical property (natural gamma radiation, NGR) solid-phase geochemical (calcium...

Electrochemical oxidation of the catechols 1a and 1b is studied in the presence of 6-methyl-2-thouracil (3b) and 6-propyl-2-thiouracil (3a) as nucleophiles in a phosphate buffer (0.15 mol L−1, pH = 6.8)/DMF (95:5) solution using cyclic voltammetry and controlled-potential coulometry. The results obtained indicate that the quinones derived from the catechols participate in 1,4-Michael-addition r...
