We would like to congratulate Michelle Brandão, Alfred Kick, Kathrin Trommer, and Michael Mertig on their new publication.
The study pays special attention to the long-term stability, with storage and conditioning conditions as the most important factors for the applicability of the sensor. The sensor was successfully applied for nitrate detection in drinking water samples, making it a promising candidate for real-time nitrate sensing applications.
Key findings
- new type of working electrode with electropolymerized polypyrrole as solid contact
- superior stability demonstrated, even after one-month periods of dry storage
- clarifying the effect of calibration parameters on nitrate detection accuracy
- nitrate detection in real drinking water samples with a reproducibility of ± 3 mg/L
