How do I get the best sensitivity (the lowest limits of detection) from my C4D?
You need to develop a method for detecting your analyte using contactless conductivity detection, including which background electrolyte to use. It’s best to start by seeing if anybody has done it before, by looking through review research papers such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
Then, you should optimise the C4D settings (amplitude, frequency and headstage gain) for the background electrolyte you are using. The easiest way to do this is to use the C4D Profiler software. You can download it from here and look at the instructions and video.
