Terms Related to Polarography

• Potentiometry

  Solution titration in which the end point is read from the electrode-potential variations with the concentrations of potential determining ions. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific ...

• Electrode

  Mediums used between an electric conductor and the object to which the current is to be applied. In electrotherapy, electrodes are instruments with a point ...

• Miniaturized Electrode

  Electrodes with an extremely small tip, used in a voltage clamp or other apparatus to stimulate or record bioelectric potentials of single cells intracellularly or ...

• Voltage-Clamp Technique

  An electrophysiologic technique for studying cells, cell membranes, and occasionally isolated organelles. All patch-clamp methods rely on a very high-resistance seal between a micropipette and ...

• Implanted Electrode

  Electric conductors through which an electric current enters or leaves a medium. When inserted, usually surgically, they are referred to as implanted electrodes.

• Ion-Sensitive Electrode

  Electrodes which can be used to measure the concentration of particular ions in cells, tissues, or solutions.

• Transvenous Electrical Ablation

  Removal of tissue with electrical current delivered via electrodes positioned at the distal end of a catheter. Energy sources are commonly direct current (DC-shock) or ...
