Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

| Description | Collector-generator systems have wide potential applications in analysis. We have shown how to make more sensitive and specific measurements by a combination of theory and experiment. We expect significant impact on the analytical community. |
| Exploitation Route | We have published a review article on collector generator systems which already has 78 citations (Web of Science 2020). We have established a collaboration with a Spanish SME, Micrix (http://www.micruxfluidic.com/). This company makes dual electrode systems for analysis and we are together working on the optimisation of their commercial products. Collector-Generator systems are of wide use in energy research (notably in oxygen reduction). Our papers are already cited in this context. |
