microelectrodes for equilibrium measurement of absolute 02 concentrations (2). The use of fast-scan cyclic voltammetry gives a method with high spatial resolution and time resolution on the order of 100 ms, while having a minimal effect on the surrounding chemical environment (29). The technique described here has many of the characteristics required of an in vivo amperometric detector (2): it is flow rate independent, it has a restricted diffusion layer and is stable, and it is essentially nonperturbational to the chemical environment.
