3D-printed accessories for nano/microelectrodes

Abstract

Rapid prototyping and 3D-printed devices have become important enabling technologies for measurement science. Work presented here aims to add to the 3D-printed toolset by demonstrating the economical production and application of printed centrifuge and electrode holders for micro and nanoelectrodes. These holders provide freedom of configuration and design and can also circumvent availability issues which may exist for commercial electrode holders. Here we demonstrate 3D-printed centrifuge holders which aid in filling small pipettes with fluid and 3D-printed electrode holders used both in electroanalytical probe characterization and in scanning ion conductance microscopy.
