The redox processes of quercetin in acidic medium (pH 1.8) were investigated on a graphite-wax electrode by cyclic voltammetry, potential-controlled UV/Vis spectra and derivative cyclic voltabsorptometry. A long-optical-path thin-layer cell was used for the spectroelectrochemical measurements. A stable quinonic product with a united conjugated structure was found to form at the first anodic pea...

Recent clinical and pre-clinical data demonstrate that adjuvant antimicrobial therapy is beneficial in cancer treatment. For the first time, an electrochemical method was proposed for the simultaneous determination of acyclovir (ACV) and methotrexate (MTX) at activated or electropretreated pencil graphite electrode (EPPEG). Their simultaneous determination was achieved by cyclic voltammetry (CV...

In this paper, we design and implement a portable potentiostat by using dual-microprocessors for the signal processing of electrochemical biosensors. In our design approach, one of the microprocessors is used to design the programmable waveform generator, and the other microprocessor is used to measure the current of biosensors. The proposed potentiostat can perform general electrochemical anal...

A new mononuclear ruthenium(ii) complex, trans-[Ru(dmb)2(Cl)(EtOH)](PF6) (dmb = 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine), has been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopic techniques and single crystal X-ray structure determination. The complex was studied as a precatalyst for the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO in an acetonitrile solution by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The ca...

Films of undoped polycrystalline diamond were deposited on molybdenum or graphite substrates by hot filament chemical vapour deposition (HFCVD), using a precursor gas mixture of methane in excess hydrogen. The morphology and quality of the as-deposited films were monitored by scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction, and the electrochemical activity monitored with...

This review examines basic principles and applications of voltammetric electronic tongues. It is introduced by a description of the concept of electronic tongues or taste sensors followed by a general overview of electrochemical measurement principles that have been used for electronic tongues. A special emphasis is given on measurement principles for voltammetric electronic tongues, also inclu...

In this study, poly(N-Isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM), poly(acrylamide) (PAAM), poly(acrylic acid) (PAAc), and poly(methacrylic (PMAc) polymers are synthesized by radical polymerization method. The chemical composition surface morphology of the PMAc polymer examined micro-Raman spectroscopy scanning electron microscopy (SEM). electrochemical measurements cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry...

We have developed a simple electrochemical biosensing strategy for the label-free diagnosis of hepatitis B virus (HBV) on a gold electrode surface. Gold-binding polypeptide (GBP) fused with single-chain antibody (ScFv) against HBV surface antigen (HBsAg), in forms of genetically engineered protein, was utilized. This GBP-ScFv fusion protein can directly bind onto the gold substrate with the str...

Essential to the renewal of interest in polarography and voltammetry in the 1970s were the availability of reliable polarographs offering the pulse mode, with sensitivity down to lo-‘-lo-* M and h’gh 1 er resolving power; a better understanding of the electrode processes of compounds of pharmaceutical interest (active agents, excipients, additives, antioxidants, etc.); and the application of ox...
