Tz. Peng et al., DETERMINATION OF THE NEUROTRANSMITTER IN THE BRAIN USING COMPOSITE - POLYMER MICROELECTRODES, Gaodeng xuexiao huaxue xuebao, 16(12), 1995, pp. 1847-1851
A composite polymer carbon fiber electrode modified with Nafion and ce
llulose acetate is described, The incorporation of ion exchanging poly
mer to the cellulose acetate domain allows the binding of counterionic
reactants, while maintaining the size exclusion discriminative proper
ties of cellulose acetate. In vivo voltammetry, the modified microelec
trode inhabits the oxidation of some neurotransmitter metabolites and
electroactive compounds, such as DOPAC, 5-HIAA, HVA, AA and UA; and su
ccessfully detects the oxidative current of neurotransmitter DA.
