Nanoelectrodes
Platinum nanoelectrodes sealed in quartz enable high-resolution electrochemical measurements at the nanoscale. Their small dimensions support single-entity electrochemistry and the investigation of nanoscale surface features. Operation typically requires advanced distance control, such as the Sensolytics Option Shearforce ↗.
