High quality polycrystalline diamond films containing Ti dispersions have been produced by means of a hybrid CVD/powder flowing technique and used to assemble electrochemical probes. The electrochemical response was evaluated by performing cyclic voltammetry and fixed potential amperometry of both inorganic [Fe(CN)(6)(4-)], and organic (ascorbic acid, epinephrine) compounds. The electro-analytical responses of these diamond-based electrodes have been compared with those of conventional glassy carbon and pyrolytic graphite electrodes. In view of their rather good performances, the Ti-containing diamond-based electrodes appear to be suitable for analytical purposes, and especially promising for applications in systems requiring absolute biocompatibility.

Abstract
High quality polycrystalline diamond films containing Ti dispersions have been produced by means of a hybrid CVD/powder flowing technique and used to assemble electrochemical probes. The electrochemical response was evaluated by performing cyclic voltammetry and fixed potential amperometry of both inorganic [Fe(CN)(6)(4-)], and organic (ascorbic acid, epinephrine) compounds. The electro-analytical responses of these diamond-based electrodes have been compared with those of conventional glassy carbon and pyrolytic graphite electrodes. In view of their rather good performances, the Ti-containing diamond-based electrodes appear to be suitable for analytical purposes, and especially promising for applications in systems requiring absolute biocompatibility.
