  "term": "Electrochemical detector",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A type of detector used in analytical chemistry, particularly in chromatography, that measures the current or potential generated by an electrochemical reaction involving the analyte. It operates by applying a potential across an electrode and monitoring the resulting current as the analyte undergoes oxidation or reduction. These detectors are sensitive to electroactive species.",
