Abstract
Fast-scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV) is a powerful technique for studying the local dynamics of neurotransmitters and neuromodulators. FSCV is attractive to researchers employing electrophysiological techniques because it can be performed using an electrophysiological voltage-clamp amplifier. However, the narrow test potential range of electrophysiological amplifiers (typically, ±1V) limits testable species of analytes. Here we devised a booster that extends the test potential range. Using the booster, we could detect the oxidation current of adenosine peaking near a test potential of +1.5V. The booster should promote combined electrophysiological and electrochemical studies of synaptic release and neural secretion.
