Thick Film Technology (TFT) offers a new platform for analytical procedures in Electrochemistry. The most routine technology is screen printing. However, it can introduce new procedures connected with miniaturisation or combination of microfluidic and electrodes. TFT use in electrochemistry is discussed. Examples of different sensors are demonstrated. Details are referred to in the original literature. Advanced applications combining TFT with other technologies are demonstrated (capillary electrophoresis on a chip and a sensor with integrated heating and thermometer). Future of TFT in electrochemistry is discussed, also the drawbacks, connection to production and commercial application are noticed.
