A thin-film electrochemical sensor electrode capable of electrolytic conductivity, cyclic voltammetry, and temperature measurements of electrolyte solutions has been fabricated and characterized. The electrode fabrication and calibration is detailed, showing accuracies of 6 % for electrolytic conductivity measurements over the range of 0.1–100 mS cm 1 and temperature measurement within 2 C from...

Various polymer coatings have been investigated for the protection of mercury thin-film electrodes in the square wave anodic stripping voltammetry of environmental samples using batch injection analysis, with injection of untreated samples of volume 50 ml directly over the sensing electrode. Polymer coatings studied include those with controlled porosity, and cation-exchange polymers based on s...

Rieske [2Fe-2S] clusters can be classified into two groups, depending on their reduction potentials. Typical high-potential Rieske proteins have pH-dependent reduction potentials between +350 and +150 mV at pH 7, and low-potential Rieske proteins have pH-independent potentials of around -150 mV at pH 7. The pH dependence of the former group is attributed to coupled deprotonation of the two hist...

The electrochemical behaviour of hen-egg-white lysozyme (HEWL) was studied at the polarized water/1,2-dichloroethane interface. The voltammetric ion-transfer response was found to be dependent on the pH and ionic strength of the aqueous phase solution and also on the nature of the organic phase electrolyte anion. The current-pH behaviour of HEWL was dominated by the charge of the biomolecule at...

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. ...

BACKGROUND The development of DNA biosensor has attracted considerable attention due to their potential applications, including gene analysis, clinical diagnostics, forensic study and more medical applications. Using electroactive daunomycin as an indicator, the hybridization detection was measured by differential pulse voltammetry in this study. RESULTS Electrochemical DNA biosensor was deve...

Stripping voltammetry as technique has proved to be very useful in the analysis of heavy and other metal ions due to its excellent detection limits and its sensitivity in the presence of different metal species or interfering ions. Recent assessments of aquatic samples have shown increased levels of platinum group metals (PGMs) in aquatic ecosystems, caused by automobile exhaust emissions and m...

Alizarin red S (ARS) was confined in layer-by-layer (LbL) films composed of phenylboronic acid-modified poly(ethyleneimine) (PBA-PEI) and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) to study the voltammetric response to diol and polyol compounds. The LbL film-coated gold (Au) electrode and quartz slide were immersed in an ARS solution to uptake ARS into the film. UV-visible absorption spectra of ARS-confined ...

With the aim of a reliable biosensing exhibiting enhanced sensitivity and selectivity, this study demonstrates a dopamine (DA) sensor composed of conductive poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) nanotubes (PEDOT NTs) conformally coated with porphyrin-based metal-organic framework nanocrystals (MOF-525). The MOF-525 serves as an electrocatalytic surface, while the PEDOT NTs act as a charge collector ...

A simple, sensitive and selective differential pulse voltammetry method for determination of paracetamol on a bare (unmodified) boron-doped diamond film electrode has been developed. It was found by cyclic voltammetry that paracetamol provided the quasireversible wave with oxidation peak on the forward scan about +0.90 V and smaller reduction peak on the reverse scan at +0.68 V vs. Ag/AgCl. The...
