What Does SWCSV Stand For?

SWCSV stands for Square Wave Cathodic Stripping Voltammetry

SWCSV, or Square Wave Cathodic Stripping Voltammetry, is an electroanalytical technique used for the sensitive detection and quantification of trace metals in various samples. It combines square wave modulation with cathodic stripping, allowing for enhanced resolution and improved signal-to-noise ratios. This method involves pre-concentrating analytes onto an electrode surface and subsequently stripping them to generate current responses that are directly related to their concentration. SWCSV is widely utilized in environmental monitoring, food safety analysis, and clinical diagnostics due to its high sensitivity and selectivity.
