Fabrication and Characterization of a High-Flexible and Shape-Controllable Carbon Fiber Microelectrode and Its Application in the Detection of Cell Secretion

A facile and low-cost method was reported for fabricating carbon fiber microelectrodes with micro pipette tips. SEM results showed that a well-sealed disk or cylinder microelectrode was conveniently obtained with this method, and the cross-section of the electrode tip was sufficiently smooth. The high flexibility arising from the polypropylene sheath made the tip of the electrode not easily broken during usage. The voltammetric response of the electrode for potassium fericyanide and epinephrine solution demonstrated that the electrochemical performance of the electrode was satisfying. The experiment for amperometric detection of secretion from individual Chromaffin cells further demonstrated that the low-noise, rapid response-time and high-sensitivity of the electrode was promising for single-cell analysis and application in other micro-environment.
