example 1

[0044] A polysulfone base film having a thickness of 150 µm and pores of 0.2 µm to 0.5 µm was immersed in a solution of 1 wt % gelatin in water. Wipe off excess liquid from the outside of the substrate and dry the substrate in a drying oven to remove moisture. The substrate was then compressed with a pressure of 100 MPa, thereby forming an annular compressed region on the substrate. The annular region has an inner diameter of 8 mm and an outer diameter of 10 mm.

[0045] 10 µl of an aqueous stain (rose bengal) solution was dropped on the substrate inside the ring. The stain solution can be seen spreading to the inside edge of the compression ring and then stops spreading. After about 1 hour, no stain is visible outside the annular area defined by the compression ring, at which point the water in the stain solution has evaporated.

example 2

[0049] Same as Example 1 except that about 60 nm of platinum was used as the electrode to coat the substrate. Alternatively, a solution containing ferrocyanide and ferricyanide was used instead of the stain solution to be dripped onto the substrate, a voltage was applied to the platinum electrode and the current was recorded. After the initial higher current, the current stabilized for about 10 minutes, after which time the substrate began to dry out and lose conductivity. A steady current indicates that no solution spreads outside the defined area.

example 3

[0053] Same as Example 2 except that a polyvinylidene fluoride substrate with a pore size of approximately 0.2 μm is used.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for determining a region (4) of a layer on a porous substrate, the method comprising compressing the volume of the substrate so as to generate a compressed region (8) which defines, or is bound to, either the edge (7) of the substrate or layer ) together define a boundary for the area that thoroughly prevents material from migrating through or across its surface. Simultaneously, the present invention also relates to an electrochemical detection device, comprising: a porous substrate; and an electrode (1) on one side of the substrate; wherein a region of the substrate is compressed to a certain degree to form a barrier to the electrolyte in the substrate The barrier to ion migration, the compressed area defines, or together with the substrate or the edge of the electrode, a region on the electrode of the predetermined area.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of Chinese Patent Application No. 96193269.4. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to a method for determining a region of a coating or layer affixed to or in contact with a porous substrate. More precisely, the invention relates to methods in which the coating or layer is an electrode. Although the invention will be described with reference to an application in the field of electrochemistry, this does not mean that the invention is limited to this application. The present invention can be extended to a variety of applications requiring the determination of the area of ​​a porous substrate. Background technique [0003] It has been found in the past that when performing quantitative electrochemical measurements, it is necessary to have both reproducible and precisely defined electrode regions which are in contact with the sample being analyzed. When measuring a large number of solutions, the usual practi...
