How can i get a clean pick in square wave voltametry?

First, i coated Hexanedithiol on to the gold surface and then blocking remain gold surface used Mercaptohexanol. After that Benzoquinone was coated on gold surface. We reduced the benzoquinone...

Some questions about electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS)?

1. After coating each thiol-antibody on gold nano particle(GNP), drop the PBS or DW(1H,RT) on antibody coated GNP. And then measuring EIS. In this experiment, the impedence increases despite that...
