• Resumen

  • The combination of reverse iontophoresis and flame photometry provides an engaging analytical experiment that gives first-year undergraduate students a flavor of modern drug delivery and analyte extraction techniques while reinforcing core analytical concepts. The experiment provides a highly visual demonstration of the iontophoresis technique and engenders a more active participation in the analytical process. The construction of a safe and cost-effective iontophoresis system is described that has proven to be sufficiently robust for use within the undergraduate laboratory.
