Abstract
Pt microelectrodes (50 μm diameter) were positioned by means of scanning electrochemical microscopy assisted z-approach curves and in situ modified with nickel tetrasulfonated phthalocyanine tetrasodium salt as electrocatalytic layer for the specific oxidative detection of nitric oxide. The thus modified electrodes were then moved over a layer of adherently growing human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) in order to amperometrically detect nitric oxide (NO) released from the cells upon stimulation with bradykinin. This approach actually takes advantage of the use of SECM to define a sequential procedure that enables the in situ functionalisation of the SECM tip thus allowing to accurately control the separation between the functionalised SECM tip and the cell population.
