Arrays of microband electrodes were developed by screen printing followed by cutting, which enabled the realization of microband arrays at the cut edge. Microband arrays of different designs were characterised with physical and electrochemical methods. In both cases the methods showed that the microband width was around 5 m. Semi-steady-state cyclic voltammetry responses were observed for redox probes.Chronocoulometric measurements showed the establishment of convergent diffusion regimes characterized by current densities similar to those of a single microelectrode.The analytical performance of the elaborated electrode system and its versatility were illustrated with two electrochemical assays: detection of ascorbic acid via direct oxidation and a mediated glucose biosensor fabricated via dip coating. Due to convergent mass transport both systems showed enhancement of the analytical characteristics. The developed approach can be adapted to automated electrode recovery.
