1. An electrochemical analysis method by means of redox-(re)cycling, comprising the following method steps:

  • the reduced form of a substance is oxidized at an electrode, and the oxidized form of the substance produced is reduced to the original form of the substrate at another electrode, so that together what is known as a redox pair is formed, signal amplification for subsequent signal evaluation is effected by a cyclic sequence of oxidation and reduction at the two electrodes, known as the redox electrodes, a redox potential which is dependent on the ratio of the concentrations or activities of the redox pair and forms at a catalytically active surface is tapped without current and, as reference-ground potential, is used as the basis for the signal evaluation by means of electrochemical measurement technology.
