Analytical chemists routinely use voltammetric techniques for the quantitative determination of a
variety of dissolved inorganic and organic substances. Inorganic, physical, and biological chemists
widely use voltammetric techniques for a variety of purposes, including fundamental studies of oxidation
and reduction processes in various media, adsorption processes on surfaces, electron transfer and
reaction mechanisms, kinetics of electron transfer processes, and transport, speciation, and thermodynamic
properties of solvated species. Voltammetric methods are also applied to the determination of
compounds of pharmaceutical interest and, when coupled with HPLC, they are effective tools for the
analysis of complex mixtures.
