The simplified amperometric detection scheme demonstrated is based on the amperometric working and electrophoretic ground electrodes only. The latter serves as counter and pseudo-reference as well. It is shown via the successful determination of neurotransmitters, ascorbic acid and phenols on gqld or platinum working electrodes that this approach is feasible for detection on a channel based electrophoretic separation device. Also presented is the detection of carbohydrates and amino acids with copper electrodes. The results were found to be similar to those obtained with conventional capillary systems with amperometric detection, albeit at much reduced analysis times.
