A minimal instrumentation micropolarograph was built, and its metrological characterization was performed. The oxidation of K 4 [Fe(CN) 6 ] was studied by linear voltammetry. A microdisc and a bar of carbon were used as working and auxiliary electrodes, respectively. A bar divided into compartments of copper-internal solutioncotton was used as reference. The linear coefficient of determination between the limiting current and the concentration was 0.9926, in the range of 10-2-10-1 mol L-1. The coefficient of variation of ten voltammograms at 0.08 mol L-1 was 1.8 %, being inferior to the maximum value reported for these methods. Mood and Kruskal-Wallis tests did not show significant differences between voltammograms. In the range of linear correlation coefficients of potential sweep 0.9488 to 0.9989, no sweep influence on voltammograms was observed. The expanded uncertainty associated with the determination of the limiting current was 1.9 µA. The linear voltammograms for oxidation of ascorbic acid and KI were obtained, showing correspondence with the reported results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
