    Advances in the Study of Ion Transfer at Liquid Membranes with Two Polarized Interfaces by Square Wave Voltammetry

    ELECTROANALYSIS, Issue 14 2010
    A. Molina
    Abstract A general analytical expression has been deduced for the I/E response of the square wave voltammetry corresponding to ion transfer processes in systems with two liquid/liquid polarized interfaces. This expression has been evaluated through the experimental study of a series of quaternary ammonium cations and metal chloro complex anions. We have found that systems with two liquid/liquid polarizable interfaces present the striking advantage that the difference between peak potentials of square wave voltammograms of cations and anions with similar standard ion transfer potential is much greater than in systems with a single polarizable one.

    Electrochemical Monitoring of Singlet Oxygen Production

    ELECTROANALYSIS, Issue 21 2009
    Duncan Sharp
    Abstract The exploitation of singlet oxygen generating compounds as a means of targeted therapies drives the need to develop methods for assessing the efficacy of such compounds and their capacity for generating the reactive oxygen species. Degradation of diphenylisobenzofuran by singlet oxygen is widely used as a spectroscopic probe but its application can be problematic. An alternative detection strategy exploiting the electrochemical monitoring of the quencher concentration, by square wave voltammetry, has been shown to provide a more sensitive and flexible option that could be used to address the increasing interest in photosensitizing materials.

    Self-Assembled Multilayers of Polyethylenimine and DNA: Spectrophotometric and Electrochemical Characterization and Application for the Determination of Acridine Orange Interaction

    ELECTROANALYSIS, Issue 15 2009
    F. Ferreyra
    Abstract This work deals with the study of the interaction between acridine orange (AO) and calf-thymus double stranded DNA (dsDNA) present in supramolecular architectures built on gold electrodes modified with mercapto-1-propanesulfonic acid (MPS) by self-assembling of polyethylenimine and dsDNA. The optimal conditions for building the supramolecular architecture were obtained from UV-vis spectrophotometric experiments. The electrochemical studies were performed by adsorptive transfer square wave voltammetry from the evaluation of the oxidation signal of AO accumulated within the multistructure. The effect of the number of PEI-dsDNA bilayers (Au/MPS/(PEI-dsDNA)n) on the accumulation and electrooxidation of AO is also discussed. [source]

    Adsorptive Stripping Analysis of Riboflavin at Electrically Heated Graphite Cylindrical Electrodes

    ELECTROANALYSIS, Issue 21 2007
    Shao-Hua Wu
    Abstract Electrically heated graphite cylindrical electrodes (HGCEs) made from ground pencil leads have been used to perform adsorptive stripping square wave voltammetry (SWV) measurements of trace riboflavin (RF). 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 transfer and facilitate adsorption thus enhance stripping responses. It was found that the detection limit of 5×10,9,M (S/N=3) could be obtained at an electrode temperature of 72,°C during 5,min accumulation, more than one magnitude lower than that at 22,°C (room temperature), the sensitivity could be enhanced ca. eight or four folds for two different RF concentration ranges. So it is possible to develop a new highly sensitive method to determine riboflavin at HGCEs. Such HGCEs were also successfully used to determine RF in multivitamin tablets. [source]

    Utilization of a Copper Solid Amalgam Electrode for the Analytical Determination of Atrazine

    ELECTROANALYSIS, Issue 22 2005
    Djenaine De, Souza
    Abstract A copper solid amalgam electrode was prepared and used for the voltammetric determination of atrazine in natural water samples by square wave voltammetry. This electrode is a convenient substitute for the hanging mercury electrode since it is selective, sensitive, reliable and inexpensive and presents low toxicity characteristic. The detection limit of atrazine obtained in pure water (laboratory samples) was shown to be lower than the maximum limit of residue established for natural water by the Brazilian Environmental Agency. The relative standard deviation for 10 different measurements was found to be only 3.98% in solutions containing 8.16×10,6,mol L,1 of atrazine. In polluted stream water samples, the recovery measurements were approximately 70.00%, sustaining the applicability of the proposed methodology to the analysis of atrazine in such matrices. [source]

    Selective Electrochemical Analysis of Various Metal Ions at an EDTA Bonded Conducting Polymer Modified Electrode

    ELECTROANALYSIS, Issue 16 2004
    Aminur Rahman
    Abstract An EDTA-bonded conducting polymer modified electrode was prepared and characterized by FT-IR. The modified electrode was used for the selective electrochemical analysis of various trace metal ions such as, Cu(II), Hg(II), Pb(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Fe(II), Cd(II), and Zn(II) at the different pHs by linear sweep and square wave voltammetry. Dynamic ranges were obtained using square wave voltammetry from 0.1,,M to 10.0,,M for Co(II), Ni(II), Cd(II), Fe(II), and Zn(II) and 0.5,nM to 20,nM for Cu(II), Hg(II), and Pb(II) after 10,min of preconcentration. The detection limits were determined to be 0.1,nM, 0.3,nM, 0.4,nM, 50.0,nM, 60.0,nM, 65.0,nM, 80.0,nM, and 90.0,nM for Cu(II), Hg(II), Pb(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cd(II), Fe(II), and Zn(II), respectively. The technique offers an excellent way for the selective trace determination of various heavy metal ions in a solution. [source]

    Nucleic acid sensor for insecticide detection

    JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR RECOGNITION, Issue 4 2008
    Pratima R. Solanki
    Abstract Nucleic acid sensor based on polyaniline (PANI) has been fabricated by covalently immobilizing double stranded calf thymus (dsCT) DNA onto perchlorate (ClO,4)-doped PANI film deposited onto indium-tin-oxide (ITO) glass plate using 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC)/N -hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) chemistry. These dsCT-DNA-PANI-ClO4/ITO and PANI-ClO4/ITO electrodes have been characterized using square wave voltammetry, electrochemical impedance, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier-transform-infrared (FTIR) measurements. This disposable dsCT-DNA-PANI-ClO4/ITO bioelectrode, stable for about 4 months, can be used to detect cypermethrin (0.005,ppm) and trichlorfon (0.01,ppm) in 30 and 60,s, respectively.

    Square Wave Voltammetric Label-free Determination of the Natural Protein Material Silk Fibroin

    CHINESE JOURNAL OF CHEMISTRY, Issue 11 2008
    Ming-Ming MA
    The electrochemical behavior of silk fibroin (SF) was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and square wave voltammetry in 0.01 mol/L HCl for the first time. Within the potential scan range of 0.0 to1.2 V (vs. SCE), two oxidative peaks at 0.91 V (Pa,1) and 0.43 V (Pa,2) as well as one reductive peak at 0.24 V (Pc ) were observed on cyclic voltammogram at scan rate of 0.2 V/s. The peak current of the peak Pa,1 was linear with SF concentration in the range of 5.8×10,8 to 1.1×10,6 mol/L, with the limit of detection 3.0×10,8 mol/L (S/N=3). The proposed method was of high selectivity without the interferences from the coexisting substances such as another natural protein material sericin and other small molecular substances. It was applied to the determination of SF in raw silk liquid samples without any pre-separation and pre-purification. [source]
