Abstract
The results of a study on the determination of trace levels of arsenic with nano-electrode ensembles (NEEs) are reported. The method is characterized by detection limit as low as 5 ng/L (65 pM) after 3 min preconcentration at −0.4 V. NEEs were applied to trace As analysis in real samples such as certified seawater samples.
