a fast and simple voltammetric method for the determination of methimazole in pharmaceutical products was reported. a glassy carbon electrode was pretreated by anodization at +1.75 v (vs. sce) for 5 min, followed by potential cycling in the range of 0.3-1.3 v (20 cycles). the pretreated electrode showed an excellent electrocatalytic effect on the oxidation of methimazole. compared with untreate...

a sensor, based on multi-wall carbon nanotubes modified glassy carbon electrode (mwcnt/gce), was developed for determination of fenitrothion. determining the surface area of mwcnt/gce showed that this surface is three times more active than that of a glassy carbon electrode. the experimental parameters, such as the amount of mwcnts, ph of the fenitrothion solution, preconcentration potential an...

The determination of clopidogrel, an antiplatelet agent, was performed at a gold electrode in pH 3.7 acetate buffer using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square wave voltammetry (SWV). Each voltammogram was characterized by the well defined peak at approximately 1.0 V. The current of anodic stripping peak exhibited a linear dependence on the clopidogrel concentration in the range from 317.89 to 935...

A pseudo-first-order catalytic mechanism in which both reactant and product of the redox reaction are strongly immobilized on the electrode surface is theoretically analyzed under conditions of square-wave voltammetry (SWV). A mathematical procedure is developed for diffusionless conditions. The relationships between the properties of the voltammetric response and both the kinetic parameters of...

There are various ways to impose a potential variation in time, and subsequently a series of voltammetric methods. Cyclic voltammetry relies on linearly scanning the potential in time, observing a triangular waveform variation [1-3]. Differential pulse voltammetry is based on two samplings of the current intensity for each potential pulse: one measurement before applying the pulse, and the seco...
