## Abstract The use of a copper wire amperometric detector for capillary electrophoresis is reported. Detection is accomplished by use of a porous glass joint, which allows amperometric detection at a copper wire electrode inserted in the end of the capillary. An anodic current is produced by a cha

Abstract
The main characteristics of a dual‐electrode amperometric detector with a cell of the “cylinder‐in‐flow” type with a working wire electrode have been investigated. The effective cell volume is 10–40 nl in a system with 0.2–0.4 mm i.d. packed fused‐silica columns. Extra‐column spreading at the optimum elution rate does not exceed 0.005 μl^2^. The linear range is 10^3^ at a relative standard deviation of 0.009. The low noise level (2–3 pA) facilitates determination of electro‐active substances. The detection limit for catecholamines is of the order of tenths of a femtomole.

An amperometric cell with a small platinum wire working electrode, a submicroliter geometric volume, and a solid polymer electrolyte (Nafion) was constructed and tested. The cell permits sensitive and reliable detection even in mobile phases of negligible electric conductivity, (e.g., distilled wate
