A novel polymer modified electrode is discussed in this paper. This resulting electrode can catalyze remarkably toward the electrochemical oxidations of dopamine (DA) and ascorbic acid (AA). Moreover, it can clearly discriminate the electrochemical oxidations of DA from that of AA based on their semi-derivative voltammograms. Hence, a simultaneous determination of DA and AA based on semi-deriva...

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is well-known oxidizing, bleaching agent and also one of the significant by-products of diverse regulating biological processes. It has been recognized as a threat in the progression of atherosclerosis, renal disease, ageing and other diseases. Hence, determination of H2O2 in trace levels in biological samples is of great importance. This article briefly reviews the ele...

Three types of carbon paste electrodes (CPEs) with different liquid binders were fabricated, and their electrochemical behavior was characterized via a potassium hexacyanoferrate(II) probe. 1-Octyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ionic liquid (IL) as a hydrophobic conductive pasting binder showed better electrochemical performance compared with the commonly employed binder. The IL-conta...

The reduction mechanism of molybdenum-methyl thymol blue (MTB)-chlorate system has been investigated in water on a mercury electrode. As this system is very sensitive for ultratrace determination of molybdenum, the actual mechanism involved was studied. Electrochemical techniques, including dc tast polarography and cyclic voltammetry were employed. It is shown that, the cathodic wave of mol...

Au nanoparticles decorated mesoporous MnFe₂O₄ nanocrystal clusters (MnFe₂O₄/Au hybrid nanospheres) were used for the electrochemical sensing of As(III) by square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV). Modified on a cheap glass carbon electrode, these MnFe₂O₄/Au hybrid nanospheres show favorable sensitivity (0.315 μA/ppb) and limit of detection (LOD) (3.37 ppb) toward As(III) under the optim...

A multiwall carbon nanotubes-modified carbon paste electrode (MWCNTs/MCPE) was fabricated and used to study the electrooxidation of penicillamine (PA) by electrochemical methods in the presence of methyldopa (MDOP) as a homogeneous mediator. The electrochemical oxidation of PA on the new sensor has been carefully studied. The kinetic parameters such as electron transfer coefficient, α, and cata...

The improvement of electrochemical detection of meloxicam is presented by modification of a glassy carbon electrode with anionic layer of cysteic acid providing electrostatic accumulation of the analyte onto the electrode surface. The modification formed by electrochemical oxidation of L-cysteine was performed by cycling potential in cysteine solution. The anodic peak current obtained at + 1.08...

A promising electrochemical sensor was fabricated by the self-assembling of Pt nanoparticles (nano-Pts) on a chitosan (CS) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). A field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electrochemical techniques were used for characterization of these composites. It has been found that nano-Pts are inserted into the CS...

Rapid and reliable diagnosis of infectious diseases caused by pathogens, and timely initiation of appropriate treatment are critical determinants to promote optimal clinical outcomes and general public health. Conventional in vitro diagnostics for infectious diseases are time-consuming and require centralized laboratories, experienced personnel and bulky equipment. Recent advances in electroche...
