What Does ASV Stand For?

ASV stands for Anodic Stripping Voltammetry

Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (ASV) is an electrochemical analytical technique used to determine the concentration of trace metals and other analytes in solution. The method involves the pre-concentration of analytes onto an electrode surface by reduction, followed by a potential sweep that oxidizes the accumulated species, allowing for quantitative analysis based on current response. ASV is valued for its sensitivity, selectivity, and ability to detect low concentrations of substances in various samples, making it widely applicable in environmental monitoring, food safety, and clinical diagnostics.
