Surface analytical techniques (SEM, ESEM, and AFM) showed that the UMEA chips are of high quality in manufacture. Cyclic voltammetric and chronoamperometric experiments proved that the electrochemical behavior of the UMEA is dominated by the features characteristic for single microelectrodes.Chronocoulometry was found to be the most suitable method in generating the Hg-film of good quality. A new UMEA chip could be plated at least ten times, corresponding to about 500 measurements of trace metals in synthetic aqueous solutions. Using SWASV, detection limits of <0.1 ï¿g/l could be achieved for the metals (Pb, Cd). Precision and accuracy were found to be approx +/-10% of RSD.In natural waters, the results obtained with the UMEA sensor showed a reasonably good agreement with HR-ICP-MS analyses. Different experimental parameters were optimised and investigated. Interferences (e.g., DOC) were significantly reduced through medium exchange and standard addition. Ultrasonic bath proved to be very efficient in resurfacing electrodes in laboratory.The UMEA sensor shows a great potential in developing a portable trace metal analyzer. However, for in situ and on-site measurements, the protection of the UMEA sensor from fouling seems to be inevitable. In order to achieve a pure microelectrode behavior with the UMEA, increasing the ratio of interelectrode distance to electrode diameter is recommended for further developments. 517 $aAssessment of an ultramicroelectrode array 606 $aPhysics$2bicssc 610 $aChemischer Sensor 610 $aElektrochemischer Sensor 610 $aGeochemie 610 $aMikroelektrode 610 $aSchwermetall 610 $aSensor 615 7$aPhysics 700 $aXie$b Xudong$4auth$01327027 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910346871103321 996 $aAssessment of an ultramicroelectrode array (UMEA) sensor for the determination of trace concentrations of heavy metals in water$93037810 997 $aUNINA
