Abstract:
A webcam camera as an alternative cost-effective colorimetric sensor for the simple dual electrochemical - colorimetric detection system is proposed. Performance test of the system was investigated through electrochemical and colorimetric behaviors of redox reactions of potassium ferrocyanide complex. Image processing with two color systems, RGB and HSV, was applied together with various electrochemical techniques. Color responses obtained from the webcam correlated with electrochemical signals in various electrochemical techniques. The results from the proposed dual detection system agreed well with those obtained using conventional UV-vis spectroelectrochemical system reported previously. The application of proposed system was demonstrated for studying the redox reaction of catechin and electrochemical - colorimetric behaviors of Fe(II) and Fe(III) mixture.

What is an Electrochemical Gradient?
The chemical gradient relies on differences in the abundance of a substance on the outside versus the inside of a cell and flows from areas of high to low ion concentration. In contrast, the electrical gradient revolves around an...
Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a...
