Abstract

Conductivity detection is one of the most often employed means of detection in isotachophoresis. In microanalytical devices, thin-film platinum electrodes can be used for conductivity detection and for other electrochemical methods of detection. The design and the performance of different electrode geometries for on-column contact conductivity detection with thin-film platinum electrodes integrated on an isotachophoresis PMMA-microchip is described. Three different electrode geometries for direct conductivity detection were used for the investigation of isotachophoretic separations. The influence of the width of the electrodes and their positioning relative to the separation channel was investigated. The performance of the different detectors is compared for the analysis of organic carboxylic acid anions.
