✦ Synopsis

The magnetic ®eld effect on the electrochemical behavior of hemoglobin at the silver electrode was investigated by cyclic voltammetry. When a 0.4 T magnetic ®eld was applied to the cell containing 1610 76 M hemoglobin (pH 5.0), both anodic and cathodic peak currents increased observably at 10 mVas due to the MHD convection. In addition, the in¯uence of scan rate, adding promotor, increasing homoglobin concentration and removing oxygen on the peak currents under the magnetic ®eld were investigated and analyzed with the classical MHD phenomena.
