The electrochemical oxidation behavior and voltammetric assay of gemifloxacin were investigated using differential-pulse and cyclic voltammetry on a screen-printed carbon electrode. The effects of pH, scan rates, and concentration of the drug on the anodic peak current were studied. Voltammograms of gemifloxacin in Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.0) exhibited a well-defined single oxidation peak. A diffe...

A poly(methyl red) film-modified glassy carbon electrode (PMRE) was fabricated for determination of norfloxacin (NFX). The electrochemical behavior of NFX was investigated and a well-defined oxidation peak with high sensitivity was observed at the film electrode. PMRE greatly enhanced the oxidation peak current of NFX owing to the extraordinary properties of poly(methyl red) film. Based on this...

Electrochemical investigations of 1,2,4-triazole and benzotriazole in aqueous acidic media has been carried out by cyclic voltammetric measurements. Cyclic voltammetric experiments were carried on glassy carbon (GC) working electrode. Effect of potential scan rate, pH of the solution and use of different surfactant on the electrochemical behavior has been investigated. Single reduction wave was...

The electrochemical oxidation of nevirapine, an anti-HIV drug, at a glassy carbon electrode has been studied by voltammetric techniques. Nevirapine showed one well defined irreversible oxidation peak with a potential of 0.749 V in phosphate buffer at pH 10. The effects of different electrolytes, pH and scan rate on the electrochemical behaviour of nevirapine were examined to determine the optim...

The transfer mechanism of an amphoteric rhodamine, sulforhodamine 101 (SR101), across the polarized water/1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) interface was investigated using cyclic voltammetry, differential voltfluorometry and potential-modulated fluorescence (PMF) spectroscopy. The voltammetric response for the ion transfer of SR101 monoanion from water to DCE was observed as the diffusion-controlled tr...

A multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) composite with Nafion was modified on a glass carbon electrode. The modified electrode was then used as a voltammetric sensor in detecting 2,4,6-triaminopyrimidine (TAP). The surface morphology of the Nafion/MWCNTs composite film was characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM), and the electrochemical behavior of TAP at this sensor was investigated in d...

A flow-electrolytic cell that consists of a bare gold wire or of different thiol-compound-modified gold electrodes (such as 2,4-thiazolidinedione, 2-mercapto-5-thiazoline, 2-mercaptothiazoline, l-cysteine, thioglycolic acid) was designed to be used in a voltammetric detector to identify l-selenomethionine and Se-methylseleno-l-cysteine using high-performance liquid chromatography. Both l-seleno...

Lateral quantized charge transfer was observed with gold nanoparticle monolayers at the air/water interface. The electronic conductivity was measured by using an interdigitated arrays (IDA) electrode perpendicularly aligned at the air/water interface where a particle ensemble was trapped between the IDA fingers. The overall voltammetric responses were analogous to that of the Coulomb blockade w...

The behavior of chlordiazepoxide has been studied using dc-polarography at dropping mercury electrode (DME) and cyclic voltammetry at glassy carbon electrode (GCE). In Britton-Robinson buffers, the drug developed three reduction irreversible waves in acidic solutions, and only two waves in alkaline media. The adsorptive stripping voltammetric behavior of chlorodiazepoxide was studied at GCE, an...

In this contribution, the amounts of Ni (nickel) and Al (aluminum) in tilapias (Oreochromis niloticus) were determined using square wave voltammetry (SWV) with glassy carbon working microelectrode with a mercury thin film, platinum counter electrode, and Ag/AgCl reference electrode. Ni was studied through the formation of the dimethylglyoxime-Ni (Ni-DMG) complex, while Al was studied through th...
