Multiple Pulse Amperometry

This page documents the Multiple Pulse Amperometry (MPAD) method.

pypalmsens.MultiplePulseAmperometry

Create multiple pulse amperometry method parameters.

The Multiple Pulse Amperometry (MPAD) technique involves applying a series of voltage pulses to an electrode immersed in a sample solution, and the resulting current of one of the pulses is measured.

Methods:

  • to_dict

    Return the technique instance as a new key/value dictionary mapping.

  • from_dict

    Structure technique instance from dict.

  • from_method_id

    Create new instance of appropriate technique from method ID.
