Voltammetric Microelectrodes - Definitions, Characteristics and Hints for theirs Use

This project is intended to replace project 550/34/87 (Voltammetric Microelectrodes: Classification and Capabilities) which has never been actually started, as the original coordinators, first Dr. J. Osteryoung and then Prof. K. Cammann, were unable to carry out the job because of their commitments. However, it has been generally felt that the topic of microeletrodes is important and an IUPAC document is needed, and at the Even Year Meeting of V.5 in Gargnano, 1996, it was decided to restart the work, assigning Karel Stulik as coordinator. The project will contribute to the unification of the terminology in the field of microelectrodes, to the establishment of unambiguous definitions of microelectrode devices and to their electroanalytical characterization. It will also point out principal rules for working with microelectrodes and the main fields of their application.

The first draft of the document was prepared, including a few more authors. The draft was repeatedly submitted for comments at various IUPAC levels and modified accordingly. At present, the final manuscript is being prepared and will be submitted for publication in PAC before the end of 1999 under the title: "Microelectrodes: Definitions, Characterisation and Applications", by Karel Stulik, Christian Amatore, Karel Holub, Vladimir Marecek and Wlodzimierz Kutner.
