Three fast and reversible electrode reactions that are connected by two reversible chemical reactions that are permanently in the equilibrium are analysed theoretically for square wave voltammetry. The dependence of peak potentials on the dimensionless equilibrium constants of chemical reactions is calculated. The influence of the basic thermodynamic parameters on the square wave voltammetric r...

A novel gold nanoparticle-modified graphite pencil electrode (AuNP-GPE) is prepared just by immersing a bare GPE in AuNP solution, followed by heating for 15 min. The bare and modified GPEs are characterized by FE-SEM imaging and cyclic voltammetry. The AuNP-GPEs showed excellent electrocatalytic activities with respect to hydrazine oxidation, with good reproducibility. To reduce the quantifica...

Acetylsalicylic acid (AcSA), or aspirin, was introduced in the late 1890s and has been used to treat a variety of inflammatory conditions. The aim of this work was to suggest electrochemical sensor for acetylsalicylic detection. Primarily, we utilized square wave voltammetry (SWV) using both carbon paste electrode (CPE) and of graphite pencil electrode (GPE) as working ones to indirect determin...

The electrochemical behaviour of desloratadine (DLOR) and its derivative 3-hydroxydesloratadine (3OH-DLOR) was investigated by direct current (DCP) polarography, cyclic (CV), differential pulse (DPV) and square-wave (SWV) voltammetry in Britton-Robinson (BR) buffer solutions (pH 4-11). Both compounds are reduced at mercury electrode in irreversible two electron reduction of the C=N bond of the ...

The in vivo performance of a voltammetric microprobe based on overoxidized poly(1,2-phenylenediamine) coated carbon fiber microelectrode (OPPD/CFME), developed in our laboratory, is presented. For this purpose, an OPPD microprobe was stereotaxicaly implanted in the striatum of a deeply anesthetized Wistar rat for the simultaneous measurement of dopamine, serotonin and ascorbate. Furthermore, th...

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...

The voltammetric behaviour of methylmercury at Nafion coated glassy carbon electrodes is examined. Cyclic voltammograms recorded at coated electrodes show a dramatic increase of peak currents with respect to bare electrodes, this effect being more evident in perchlorate supporting electrolytes rather than in chloride containing media. Experimental evidence indicates that ion-exchange preconcent...

Ferrocene-modified DNA probes formed fully matched duplexes and bulge-containing ones with wild-type and insertion/deletion-type complements of clinical importance, respectively. Cyclic voltammetry measurements revealed that the bulge-containing duplexes showed an increased flexibility compared to the fully matched duplexes. The difference in the bending elasticity could be read out electrochem...
