Our approach allows even a highly sensitive reaction like the distributed BZ reaction to proceed undisturbed during measurement. While we chose redox potential as a proof-of-concept parameter due to its straightforward validation against established optical methods, the same setup is readily adaptable to measure other parameters – such as bromide ion concentration or pH – by simply replacing the microelectrode tip. By ensuring that the carbon fiber tip barely contacts the surface, we avoided the need for insulation and minimized disturbances that might otherwise affect the reaction.
