The aim of the work was to compare two analytical methods of trace analysis in respect to their applicability in heavy metals determination in biological samples. Atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) may be considered as the method of choice in such analyses due to its accuracy, precision and low detection limit. On the other hand, voltammetric methods seem to be as useful, but rarely applied. ...

A selective and sensitive stripping voltammetric method for the determination of trace amounts of copper(II) with cyclopentanone thiosemicarbazone (CPTSC) is presented. The method is based on the adsorptive accumulation of the resulting copper-CPTSC complex on a hanging mercury drop electrode, followed by the stripping voltammetric measurements at the reduction current of the adsorbed complex a...

conclusions the results of this study show that lh in different pharmaceutical preparations could be determined with good reliability. in addition, the results reveal that the equal numbers of electrons and protons are involved in the oxidation of lh and the irreversible oxidation of an analyte was performed via amine groups of lh molecule. background lidocaine hydrochloride (lh) is one of the ...

Carbon paste electrode modified with cobalt impregnated zeolite was prepared by mixing of cobalt_zeolite (Co_Z) and graphite powder with different percent. The electrochemical oxidation of cefixime at such electrodes was investigated using the cyclic voltammetric and amperometric techniques. It is not electrochemically active towards cefixime oxidation in 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution (pH=7) ...

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...

BACKGROUND Lidocaine hydrochloride (LH) is one of the most extensively used local anesthetics and peripheral analgesics. Availability of a simple and sensitive assay method for this analyte in pharmaceutical preparations as well as development of new voltammetric detectors that can be applied in chromatographic systems for determination of this analyte in biological samples are of great importa...

Accepted on 25 th August 2014 _____________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Synthesis of symmetrical Schiff bases (1-4) employed by using condensation methods. Purity was monitored by TLC and column chromatographic techniques. In this present study cyclic voltammetric behavior of symmetrical Schiff bases (1-4) were studied. The cyclic voltammetric studie...

Voltammetric properties of electrodes made of multiple-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) with different diameters were investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The results indicate that electrodes made of smaller MWNTs exhibit better voltammetric properties. In addition, electrodes made of mixed MWNTs with large diameter distribution possess the best voltammetric properties. The phenomenon can be expl...

Voltammetric techniques have been considered as important methods among the analytical techniques used for the identification and determination of trace concentrations of many biological molecules such as L-ascorbic acid (AA). L-ascorbic acid is an electro-active molecule, though it is difficult to determine its value directly with a majority of electrodes made of carbon and transition metals, ...
