The present invention relates to an electrode assembly having a laminate structure comprising: a first insulating capping layer; a first conducting layer capped by the first insulating capping layer and substantially sandwiched by at least the first insulating capping layer such as to leave exposed only an electrical contact lip of the first conducting layer; and an array of etched voids extending through at least the first insulating capping layer and the first conducting layer, wherein each void is partly bound by a surface of the first conducting layer which acts as an internal submicron electrode.

Electrode assembly

Provided is a method for processing a sample, which method comprises:

Detecting analytes

A microelectrode system suitable for use in preparative and analytical chemistry having a laminated structure with one or more apertures. In one embodiment a microelectrode system ( ) comprises alternating layers of conductor ( ) and dielectric (or insulator) ( ). The laminated structure ( ) comprises two conductor layers ( ) and two dielectric layers ( ) formed on a base ( ) of silicon or a polymeric material. The conducting layers ( ) form electrodes in the microelectrodes system ( ). The laminated structure has formed within it an aperture in the form of a well ( ) being open at one end ( ) and closed at the opposite end ( ). In another embodiment, the apertures take the form of through holes.
