SENSITIVITY SENSITIZATION METHOD IN DETECTION OF OXIDATION-REDUCTION MATERIAL AND APPARATUS FOR THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a detection method and an apparatus for the same capable of highly sensitizing the detection of oxidation-reduction materials without having to use any catalyst reagents.

SOLUTION: In the method for electrochemically detecting oxidation-reduction materials, radicals are generated from solvent molecules originally present in a solution by irradiating the solution, in which a material to be detected is dissolved, with light instead of a conventional catalyst reagent such as an oxidizing agent or a reducing agent. By using the radicals as a catalyst and repeating a redox cycling of oxidation-reduction materials, electrochemical detection signals are amplified.
