Anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV) trace detection of the heavy metals ions Pb2+, Cd2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+ was done at highly aligned multi‐wall carbon nanotube tower electrodes (CNT tower electrodes). The CNT tower electrode is one type of CNT array that consists of millions of ordered super long CNTs. Osteryoung square‐wave stripping voltammetry was used for the stripping step. This electrode material shows good resolution for individual detection of these four metal ions with calculated detection limits of 12 nM, 25 nM, 44 nM and 67 nM for Pb2+, Cd2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+, respectively, for a deposition time of 120 s. The detectable limit was as low as 0.5 nM for a 10 min deposition.
