1. A microstructured flow-through device for producing electrogenerated chemical reactions in a reaction medium, comprising:
an electrically conductive material that is channeled with at least one channel to constitute a working electrode, wherein channels thereof provide a high specific surface area for the working electrode, and
an electrically insulating film coated onto at least a portion of a channel surface of the material in such a way as to leave the channels open;
the device being made by a method comprising steps of:
providing electrically conductive material, forming the channels in and/or on a surface of said material, and providing the electrically insulating film coating on said channel.
