| Abstract: | We have developed a new type of glassy carbon electrode whose smooth surface with scattered craters reduces its polarization voltage. It has both excellent antithrombogenicity and slight tissue reaction. The energy threshold curve was the lowest when compared to the Siemens (411S, 412S) and the Solin (S-100) electrodes. |
