Monitoring the Electrophoretic Migration and Adsorption of Single Insulating Nanoparticles at Ultramicroelectrodes

The individual adsorption events of sub-μm silica and polystyrene spheres (310-530 nm in diam.) were detected by monitoring the blocking of redox mediator diffusion to Pt ultramicroelectrode (UME) substrates by the adsorbing spheres. Under the diffusion limited oxidation of FcMeOH and at low supp…
