Voltammetry

Voltammetric trace analysis determines electrochemically active substances. In many cases these are traces of heavy metals. In addition, unlike the spectroscopic methods, voltammetry can distinguish between different oxidation states of metal ions as well as between free and bound metal ions.

Voltammetry also enables organic compounds to be determined with a high degree of sensitivity. This makes it possible to analyze many active pharmaceutical ingredients according to USP<801>.
