Metrohm complements its portfolio of intelligent IC systems with an amperometric detector. As an alternative to conductivity and UV/VIS detectors, it can be used for efficiently determining electroactive compunds.
The new amperometric detector excels by its high selectivity and measurement sensitivity. It can be used for sensitive and accurate determinations down to the ng/L-range.
The detector features optimized measuring cells that are intelligent, maintenance-free, and easy to use. As a consequence of their three electrode design, they exhibit strikingly low noise and excellent signal strength. Electrodes in the usual materials of gold, silver, platinum, and glassy carbon are available for a wide variety of applications. The maintenance-free auxiliary and reference electrodes complement your detection system. This makes amperometric detection more robust and easier to use than ever before.
Depending on the application, the direct current mode (DC), the pulsed amperometric detection mode (PAD), the highly flexible integrated pulsed amperometric mode (flexIPAD), or the cyclovoltammetric mode (CV) may be used. The flexibility of the detector also includes the selection of the measuring signal: whether current or charge, users always benefit from reliable results.
Metrohm offers the amperometric detector in the form of an inlay detector (850 IC Amperometric Detector) or as a stand-alone detector (896 Professional Detector. Depending on the task, they can be operated in series or parallel to other analytical channels.

18 Scientists from the US and Canada Win Scialog Awards for Advancing Chemical Lab Automation
July 7th 2025Seven research teams from universities across the United States and Canada have been honored for their collaborative efforts that integrate automation and artificial intelligence (AI) to tackle fundamental scientific challenges.
Detection and Risk Assessment of Mycotoxins in Commercial Tortillas Using HPLC-Based Methods
July 4th 2025A joint study between Selçuk University (Konya, Turkey) and Hitit University (Corum, Turkey) determined the natural occurrence and concentrations of the mycotoxins ochratoxin A (OTA) and deoxynivalenol (DON) in commercially available tortillas in Turkey. Contamination levels were quantified using validated analytical methods based on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with fluorescence or ultraviolet detectors (HPLC-FLD or HPLC–UV).
GC Analysis Reveals PCB Accumulation in Antarctic Penguins and Krill
July 3rd 2025Researchers from the University of Murcia (Murcia, Spain), the Carlos III Health Institute (Madrid, Spain), and the University of Siena (Siena, Italy) evaluated the concentration of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in chinstrap penguins and krill from Deception Island (South Shetland Islands, Antarctica) to provide additional data of the PCB presence in Antarctica. To this end, 34 samples of different tissues corresponding to four adult specimens and six chicks were analyzed with gas chromatography.
