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, ...

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 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...

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...

The zalcitabine (ddC) has been extensively used in the treatment of HIV patients due to its antiretroviral activity. The quality control of this active principle in medications is of outstanding importance to public health. The principal objective of the current study was the development of an alternative analytical methodology for the zalcitabine determination using a voltammetric process. The...

The electrochemical behavior of 2'-halogeno-N,N-dimethyl-4-aminoazobenzene derivatives was investigated using various polarographic and voltammetric methods. The peak potentials of these derivatives were observed to shift towards negative values along with an increase in the pH. A reduction of the azo linkage took place via two electrons at pH > 4, but four electrons at pH < 4 in aqueous-ethano...

Development of sensitive and selective methods to detect proteins at trace levels is of great biological importance. Via derivatization with a bifunctional cross-linker 4-maleimidobutyric acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (GMBS) and an electrochemical marker 11-ferrocenyl-1-undecanethiol (Fc-SH), voltammetric determination of surface-confined proteins electrostatically adsorbed onto the polyelect...

Voltammetric detection of metals in natural waters suffers from interference by dissolved oxygen. We describe here a deoxygenation method suitable for ̄ow analysis with detection by cathodic stripping voltammetry (FIA-CSV). The apparatus is based on the permeation of oxygen through semi-permeable tubing (silicone, Pore ̄on and others) into an oxygen-free chamber. Two methods of oxygen removal ar...

BACKGROUND Support vector regression (SVR) and Gaussian process regression (GPR) were used for the analysis of electroanalytical experimental data to estimate diffusion coefficients. RESULTS For simulated cyclic voltammograms based on the EC, Eqr, and EqrC mechanisms these regression algorithms in combination with nonlinear kernel/covariance functions yielded diffusion coefficients with highe...

Rapid and facile preparation of the cheap modified electrode materials is an important parameter in development of the efficient electrochemical sensor for industrial scale production and mass-market usage. In the present work, the carbon paste electrode modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was prepared for sensitive determination of lead (Pb) ion in the presence of bismuth (Bi)...
