This contribution deals with study and characterization of transporting processes of lead and cadmium ions across supported artificial phospholipid bilayers (SPLBs), which were formed on the hydrophilic surface of gel-type (agar or agarose) electrode. For the formation of these SPLBs two types of phospholipids (1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine and the mixture of phospholipids obtained from soybeans (under commercial name Asolectin)) were used. Discussed SPLBs and the transporting processes of selected ions have been characterized using two electrochemical methods: electrochemical impedance spectrometry (EIS) and voltammetry. The impact of some parameters on these systems and processes was investigated.
