Electrically　heated　graphite　cylindrical　electrodes　(HGCEs)　have　been　used　to　perform　electrochemical　behavior　studies　and　adsorptive　stripping　square　wave　voltammetric　(SWV)　measurements　of　flavin　adenine　dinucleotide　(FAD).　It　was　found　that　when　the　electrode　with　adsorbed　FAD　was　heated　during　cyclic　voltammetric　cycling,　the　redox　peak　potential　shifted　negatively,　peak　current　diminished　and　the　peak　shape　became　poorer.　While　the　SWV　stripping　peak　current　was　significantly　enhanced　with　increasing　the　electrode　temperature　only　during　preconcentration　step.　This　enhancement　was　due　to　the　forced　thermal　convection　induced　by　heating　the　electrode　rather　than　the　bulk　solution.　It　is　the　thermal　convection　that　has　the　ability　to　improve　mass　thransfer　and　facilitate　adsorption　thus　enhance　stripping　responses.　It　was　found　that　the　detection　limit　of　1　×　10-8mol/L(S/N　=　3)　could　be　obtained　at　an　electrode　temperature　of　72　°C　during　5　min　accumulation,　about　one　magnitude　less　than　that　at　room　temperature　27　°C.　The　sensitivity　was　also　improved　significantly.
