description

Inverse polarographic and voltammetric methods are surveyed. The electrochemical determination procedure is carried out by current reversal after electrolytic concentration on a working electrode. Analyses in the nanogram (ng) region (10−9 g.) are possible because the sensitivity is increased by a factor of 100 to 1000 in comparison with the usual polarographic and voltammetric methods. These methods are, therefore, of particular interestin trace analysis.
