Differential Pulse Anodic Stripping Voltammetric Simultaneous Determination of Copper(II) and Silver(I) with Bis(2-hydroxyacetophenone) Butane-2,3-dihydrazone Modified Carbon Paste Electrodes

Abstract The behavior of a modified carbon paste electrode (CPE) for simultaneous determination of copper(II) and silver(I) by anodic adsorptive stripping voltammetry (ASV) was studied. The electrode was built incorporating the bis(2-hydroxyacetophenone) butane-2,3-dihydrazone (BHAB) as a complexing agent to a Nujol-graphite base paste. The resulting electrode demonstrated linear responses over the range of Cu(II) and Ag(I) concentrations 0.1,20 and 0.01,2.0,µM respectively. The relative standard deviation (RSD) for the determination of 5.0,µM of both metal ions were 2.9 and 3.1,% for Cu(II) and Ag(I), respectively. The method has been applied to the analysis of copper in wheat and barley seed samples and silver in developed radiological film. [source]

New Strategy for Dehydrogenase Amperometric Biosensors Using Surfactant to Enhance the Sensitivity of Diaphorase/Ferrocene Modified Carbon Paste Electrodes for Electrocatalytic Oxidation of NADH

ELECTROANALYSIS, Issue 13 2003

Abstract A carbon paste electrode (CPE) modified with diaphorase (DAP) and ferrocene (FcH) has been developed for determination of NADH at low working potential. The sensitivity and operational stability, towards the detection of the reduced form of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) in flow injection analysis (FIA), were greatly improved (5 times) upon adding Tween 20 into the electrode matrix. The magnitude of the amperometric signal was dependent on DAP, FcH and surfactant loading, into the modified carbon paste electrode. A rapid and repeatable response was observed to the variation of NADH concentration in the vicinity of the electrode surface. Such advantages of the DAP/FcH/Tween 20 modified carbon paste were successfully used in the construction of L -lactate dehydrogenase modified electrodes. The use of this new approach can be generalized to other dehydrogenases and represents a decisive step for a versatile preparation method of amperometric biosensors. [source]

Electrogenerated chemiluminescence of ruthenium complex immobilized in a highly cross-linked polymer and its analytical applications

Abstract Electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) of a ruthenium complex polymer modified carbon paste electrode and its analytical applications were investigated. The ruthenium complex polymer was prepared using bis(2,2-bipyridine) (4,4-dicarboxy-2,2-bipyridine) ruthenium(II). The ECL behaviours of ruthenium complex polymer modified carbon paste electrode were investigated in the absence and presence of tripropylamine (TPA). The modified carbon paste electrode exhibited long-term stability and fine reproducibility. The ECL intensity of the modified carbon paste electrode was linear with the concentration of TPA in the range 2.0 × 10,6,3.8 × 10,3 mol/L, with a detection limit (S:N = 3) of 6 × 10,7 mol/L. It was also found that raceanisodamine could enhance the ECL intensity of the modified electrode. The ECL intensity of the modified carbon paste electrode was linear with the concentration of raceanisodamine in the range 1.1 × 10,5,6.0 × 10,4 mol/L, with a detection limit (S:N = 3) of 6 × 10,6 mol/L. This work demonstrates that the entrapment of ruthenium complex in a highly cross-linked polymer is a promising approach to construct an ECL modified electrode with long-term stability and fine reproducibility. The modified electrode designed has a potential application in the ECL detector. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]

Electrochemical Behavior of Catecholamines and Related Compounds at In Situ Surfactant Modified Carbon Paste Electrodes

Abstract The voltammetric characteristics of catecholamines: epinephrine (E) and norepinephrine (NE) and related compounds: isoproterenol, metanephrine, L -dopa, methyldopa, vanillylmandelic acid (VMA), and homovanillic acid (HVA) at unmodified and in situ surfactant- modified carbon paste electrodes were comparatively evaluated. For the basic and amphoteric compounds the modification of the electrode surface with submicellar concentrations of anionic surfactants (sodium dodecylsulfate, sodium decylsulfate or sodium dodecylsulfonate) produce an important current enhancement in its oxidation and reduction peak current together with the improvement in the reversibility of the processes. These effects were explained in basis on electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. On the other hand, the oxidation of acidic metabolites, HVA and VMA, was studied at electrodes modified in situ with cationic surfactants. Under certain conditions the surfactant could stabilise some of the electrochemical reaction intermediates, thus explaining the different voltammetric behaviour of HVA and VMA. [source]
