method for monitoring, estimating and constructing equations for estimating the concentration of a selected analyte within a sample, method for determining the volume of a sample and a set of environmental factors present in an electrochemical system, apparatus and method for determination of the identity of a sample in electrolyte contact with an electrochemical system

摘要

A method for monitoring a select analyte in a sample in an electrochemical system. The method includes applying to the electrochemical system a time-varying potential superimposed on a DC potential to generate a signal; and discerning from the signal a contribution from the select analyte by resolving an estimation equation based on a Faradaic signal component and a nonfaradaic signal component.
