  • Electrode preconditioning
    Patent number: 8518236
    Abstract: A method for improving the precision of electrochemical measurements made using an electrochemical cell is provided. The method comprises preconditioning a working electrode of the cell by (i) baking the working electrode; and/or (ii) incubating the working electrode; and/or (iii) applying a preconditioning potential across the cell; and/or (iv) treating the working electrode with a UV laser.
    Type: Grant

  • Hdl Cholesterol Sensor
    Publication number: 20080135419
    Abstract: A method for the determination of the amount of cholesterol in high density lipoproteins in a high density lipoprotein containing sample, the method comprising reacting the sample with a PEG-ylated protein to selectively complex non-HDL lipoproteins in the sample with the PEG-ylated protein, or with a PEG-ylated enzyme capable of selective reaction with high density lipoproteins, and subsequently measuring the amount of cholesterol in the high density lipoproteins, for example using an electrochemical technique.
