Voltammetry: Stripping Methods

Voltammetry: Stripping Methods

Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (ASV), Cathodic Stripping Voltammetry (CSV), and Adsorptive Stripping Voltammetry (AdSV) are electrochemical techniques used to determine trace amounts of analytes in solution. These methods involve applying a potential to an electrode and measuring the resulting current.
Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (ASV)
ASV is used to determine metals and metalloids at trace levels. It involves two steps: deposition and stripping. First, a negative potential is applied to the...

Summary

Stratum corneum (SC) biomarkers offer insights into skin barriers. Tape stripping (TS) is a minimally invasive method for collecting these biomarkers, but standardization is needed for wider research and clinical use.

To guide the development of optimal SC biomarker sampling strategies.

Main Methods:

Review of the tape stripping (TS) procedure for SC sample collection.
Discussion of advancements in biomarker analysis (multiplex immunoassays, omics).
Analysis of challenges in TS standardization for research and clinical practice.

Main Results:

SC biomarkers provide valuable data on skin barrier status.
Tape stripping (TS) offers a simple, minimally invasive method for SC biomarker collection.
Standardization of TS is crucial for broader implementation.

Conclusions:

The expanding range of SC biomarkers, coupled with advanced analytical techniques, highlights the potential of TS.
