Analytical vs. Scanning Waveforms
The pre-programmed analytical waveforms supplied with Chromeleon
are designed for quantitative analysis of specific compounds (alcohols,
amino acids, carbohydrates, etc.). With analytical waveforms, integration
occurs either while a single constant potential is being applied over time
(see the example waveform in
Figure 2-24 ) or while a series of stepped
potentials are being applied (see the example waveform in Figure 2-25 ).
With scanning waveforms, integration occurs while the potential is being
increased linearly over time (see the example scanning waveform in
Figure 2-30 ). Although scanning waveforms are typically not as useful
for quantitative analysis as analytical waveforms, when used to collect 3D
amperometric data, scanning waveforms can be optimized to provide
characteristic I-t plots (see
Section 2.16.7 ). Comparison of I-t plots of a
known substance with an unknown can help to identify unknown peaks or
to determine whether a substance is coeluting with another.
