Résumé : A review is presented dealing with the use of carbon paste as an electrode maaterial for electrochemical sensors (311 references). It covers mainly publications which appeared during the period 1990–1993; numerous applications demonstrate the widespread applicability of carbon paste in the field of electrochemical analysis, such as voltammetry, amperometry, and potentiometry, but also as an electrode for electrochemical detectors in flow systems.
