The Epsilon potentiometer model combined with a PC running Epsilon EC-2000-XP (Ver. 1.40.67_NT) software was used in these theses. During the research, a three-electrode cell was used. A platinum electrode was utilised as the working and auxiliary electrode. An Ag/AgCl/KClsot electrode was used as reference electrode. All values of the potentials refer to this electrode.

An POT layer was deposited under potentiostatic or potentiodynamic conditions on platinum electrode by varying parameters of the experiment. Potentiodynamic polymer formation measurements were performed by alternating the electrode potential from 0.1V to 1.0V and from 0.1V to 1.2V. When modifying Pt electrode, 10 or 20 potential cycles were performed. The potential scan rate was 10, 20, 50, and 100 mV/s. Potentiostatic polymer formation measurements were performed under the constant potential Econst 0.9V, 1.0V, and 1.2V, and the time of coating (tcoating) was 1, 3 or 5 minutes. Poly (o-methylaniline) modified electrodes can be used for the analysis of ascorbic acid in solutions with pH values 5,5. Within the concentration interval of ascorbic acid between 0,1mM and 1mM, a linear dependence between oxidation limit currents and concentration was observed when ascorbic acid measurements were carried out potentiostatic conditions. The lowest sensing limit of ascorbic acid was 0,1mM.
