What Does ACSV Stand For?

ACSV stands for Adsorptive Cathodic Stripping Voltammetry

ACSV, or Adsorptive Cathodic Stripping Voltammetry, is an electrochemical analytical technique used for the trace determination of various substances, particularly heavy metals and organic pollutants. This method involves the adsorption of analytes onto an electrode surface during a pre-concentration step, followed by the cathodic stripping of the adsorbed species during a potential scan. ACSV is known for its high sensitivity and selectivity, making it valuable in environmental monitoring, pharmaceuticals, and biochemistry.
