Abstract
This article reviews the field of adsorptive stripping analysis (AdSA) on mercury film electrodes (MFEs). Mercury thin films deposited on co nductive substrates can be used as electrodes in the reductive mode of AdSA since they retain most of the favourable features of the hanging mercury drop electrode while offering the advantages of solid electro des at the same time. The practical aspects of the application of MFEs in AdSA are discussed and some applications in the field of inorganic and organic trace analysis are presented.
