While analytical techniques, such as spectroscopy, spectrometry, and electrochemical sensors, are effective at detecting low concentrations, achieving attomolar sensitivity remains a significant challenge. Here, we present an electroanalytical approach that leverages partitioning kinetics to detect attomolar concentrations of redox-active analytes. Using (Cp*)<small><sub>2</sub></small>Fe<small><sup>II</sup></small> as a model system, we demonstrate trace-level detection by facilitating the transfer of (Cp*)<small><sub>2</sub></small>Fe<small><sup>II</sup></small> from the bulk aqueous phase into 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) microdroplets positioned atop a gold microelectrode (radius ∼6.25 μm). This partitioning arises from the greater solubility of (Cp*)<small><sub>2</sub></small>Fe<small><sup>II</sup></small> in DCE relative to its limited solubility in water, enriching the analyte concentration near the electrode as the microdroplets slowly dissolve into the aqueous phase. Additionally, we explored the role of oxygen in enhancing the electrochemical response: oxygen removal hindered detection at 1 aM, while oxygen saturation significantly amplified the redox peak signal. These findings underscore oxygen's role, which is likely a bimolecular reaction between oxygen and (Cp*)<small><sub>2</sub></small>Fe<small><sup>II</sup></small> in signal amplification.

Particularly the plant toxin ricin, found in the seeds of the castor oil plant <em>Ricinus communis</em>, is of special forensic interest due to its worldwide availability, high toxicity, and lack of medical countermeasures. We investigated the combination of carbon and nitrogen stable isotope measurements with respective elemental composition data to provide additional forensic intelligence for sample comparison and correlation. For this, we purchased seeds from three commercially available cultivars of <em>Ricinus communis</em> and lipid-extracted these with three different protocols. By considering C and N stable isotope data alone, 97% of samples were correctly classified in pairwise comparison. The model was further enhanced by including total carbon and nitrogen content data, which provided information about the level of extraction and allowed the development of a normalization model based on carbon isotope ratios and carbon content. Such a model can be used not only to compare unknown samples, but also to estimate the carbon isotope ratios of original seeds and correlate potential source seeds found at a preparation site to seized extracted materials. Unlike previous approaches, this model is independent of the specific extraction method, as it reflects the systematic carbon isotope shifts across different extraction levels rather than method-specific fractionation effects. Thus, isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS)-based profiling of <em>Ricinus communis</em> materials can help to retrospectively categorize and correlate ricin-containing materials.
