Microband electrodes fabricated by screen printing processes: Applications in electroanalysis

A novel method for the simple and cheap manufacture of microband and multiple microband electrodes is described. The construction technique is based entirely on the screen printing of the surface of alumina tiles with conducting and insulating ink materials. The range of potentials over which the electrodes may be used has been determined by basic electrochemical studies. These electrode systems have been used successfully for the measurement of vitamin C, vitamin B(1) and paracetamol, which illustrates, their potential as useful tools in the field of electroanalysis.
