Abstract :
A nitric oxide (NO) electrochemical sensor for hypoxic, tumor cell culture applications is developed. Qualitative analysis of the electrode has been studied by cyclic voltammetry. NO amperometric measurement methods have been extensively analyzed. Square wave voltammetry method is found to be one of the optimal methods for the measurement of NO in cell cultures. A hypoxic tumor cell culture measurement (MCF-7 cell type) has also been conducted to observe the NO response to hypoxia.
