| Description | Elimination voltammetry with linear scan (EVLS) represents a modern and an attractive approach in bioanalytical chemistry for analysis of biologically important molecules, mainly for nucleic acids and nucleobases. The EVLS theory was published in 1996 [1], since then EVLS has been developed and applied for the investigation of electrode processes, for characterization of biosensors and for testing of advanced electrode materials. Eliminating or conserving some current components (charging, kinetic, diffusion), EVLS provides some substantial improvements comparing with ordinary voltammetry, such as the increase of the current sensitivity and the enhancement of the peak resolution. This advantage is particularly evident in the case of adsorbed electroactive substance because, as it has been confirmed by theory, the elimination signal takes the form of a good readable peak-counterpeak [2,3]. The goal of this contribution is to present discovery, development and new perspectives of EVLS opening the possibility of application of this method in bioelectrochemical research [4,5] and its future including the implementation in electrochemical analyzers. |
