eng	Continuous Monitoring of Iodine Release During Biofilm Inhibition Process Using Interdigitated Platinum Electrodes	The kinetics of iodine formation was continuously monitored at 37 °C with the aid of interdigitated platinum electrodes and biamperometry as analytical technique for several days. Different designs of electrodes with various electrode areas and geometric dimensions were tested with respect to the sensitivity and repeatability of current measurements. The effect of iodine on the inhibition and/or eradication of the in vitro microbial biofilm was then evaluated. The electrochemical monitoring of efficacy in eradication of biofilm was performed on the modified Lubbock biofilm model that was prepared from the blend of five bacteria strains: Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, and Streptococcus agalactiae.
