“…The output signal is the cell potential, which changes over time and is applied to the detection compartment as voltage input to generate ECL. As time proceeds, the concentration of the electroactive species at the electrode surface will be depleted at a transition time τ, giving a drastic change in potential. − According to the Sand equation, the square root of the transition time should be linearly dependent on the concentration of the locally depleted species as follows: , where i is the applied current, c j is the initial concentration of analyte j , n is the number of transferred electrons (for ion-selective membranes, n becomes z , the valency of j ), F is the Faraday constant, A is the electrode area, and D j is the diffusion coefficient of j . The time at which ECL reaches maximum intensity should coincide with the chronopotentiometric transition time, which is achieved with the help of a voltage adapter.…”
