    Area of Science:

    • Electrochemistry
    • Biosensors
    • Medical Devices

    Background:

    • Accurate measurement of oxygen tension (PO2) is critical in various physiological and biomedical applications.
    • Existing PO2 electrode designs can suffer from stir sensitivity and slow response times, limiting their utility.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the fabrication and performance of a novel polarographic oxygen electrode.
    • To evaluate the electrode's response time and sensitivity to stirring.

    Main Methods:

    • Fabrication of a PO2 electrode using glass-covered gold wires embedded in epoxy within a stainless steel needle.
    • Electrolytic recessing of gold wires using sodium cyanide (NaCN).
    • Polarographic measurement of PO2, with options for a separate Ag-AgCl reference or the stainless steel needle as reference.
