Some mistakes in the paper published in the Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry 528 (2002) 1 are corrected. The resistance changes of a PdjH electrode caused by the co-conduction of the electrolyte, the concentration-cell effect and collection of electrolysis current in the in situ resistance measurement using direct currents are calculated analytically. Some advice is given for resistance m...

Several new books and journals containing material of electroanalytical and electrochemical interest have appeared. The newest edition of “Standard Methods of Chemical Analysis” (329) includes chapters discussing the fundamentals of electrogravimetric and coulometric methods. Zozulya has written a brief monograph on coulometric analysis (341) and coulometric titrations in nonaqueous solvents ha...

Two new methods of electroanalysis are described. These methods are based on membranes containing monodisperse Au nanotubules with inside diameters approaching molecular dimensions. In one method, the analyte species is detected by measuring the change in trans-membrane current when the analyte is added to the nanotubule-based cell. The second method entails the use of a concentration cell base...

Room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) are solvents that may have great potential in chemical analysis. Recent surge in the number of publications/reports/books/monographs clearly indicate an increasing interest of scientific and engineering community toward these exciting and unique solvents. Consequently, a variety of analytical applications of RTILs have started to emerge. This review presen...

Electroanalytical methods are chosen for the sensitive analysis of pharmaceutically active compounds in their dosage forms and biological samples. Electroanalytical method validation is the process used to confirm that the determination procedure employed for a specific test is suitable for its intended use like other analytical methods. Results from electroanalytical method validation can be u...

Two Divisions of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), namely Physical Chemistry (Commission I.7 on Biophysical Chemistry, formerly Steering Committee on Biophysical Chemistry) and Analytical Chemistry (Commission V.5 on Electroanalytical Chemistry), have prepared recommendations on the de®nition, classi®cation and nomenclature related to electrochemical biosensors; the...
