What Are the Types of Electrochemical Sensors Used?
Several types of electrochemical sensors are used in toxicology, including:
Ion-selective electrodes (ISEs): Used for detecting specific ions like lead or mercury. Biosensors: Employ biological elements such as enzymes, antibodies, or microorganisms to detect specific toxicants. Conductometric sensors: Measure changes in electrical conductivity due to the presence of toxic substances. Voltammetric sensors: Use varying voltage to measure the current response of an analyte, providing information on its concentration.
