A voltammetric-amperometric detector for liquid chromatography based on a dual electrode electrochem-ical cell has been developed. This detector enables voltammograms to be obtained without the charging current problems inherent in single electrode voltammetric detectors. The detector is operated by scanning the potential of the upstream (voltammetric) electrode and detecting the electrolysis p...

The electrochemical behavior of o-nitrophenol was studied in detail with a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The dependence of peak potential on pH indicated that equivalent electrons and protons were involved in the process of o-nitrophenol reduction. The interaction of o-nitrophenol with calf thymus DNA was investigated by adding DNA to the o-nitrophenol solution and by immobilizing DNA on GCE, ...

Benznidazole is a drug used commonly as a therapeutic agent against Chagas' disease in Brazil. To clarify the cytotoxic action of benznidazole the electrochemical reduction of benznidazole has been investigated using a DNA-electrochemical biosensor, prepared by modification of a glassy carbon electrode with DNA, and the results compared with reduction at a bare glassy carbon electrode. The depe...

A new method for determination of salbutamol sulfate has been developed using poly(4-amino-3-hydroxynaphthalene sulfonic acid/GCE. Cyclic voltammetric investigation of the electrochemical behavior of salbutamol sulfate at the polymer modified glassy carbon unveiled electrocatalytic activity of the modifier towards irreversible oxidation of salbutamol sulfate. Dependence of peak current predomin...

The aim of this study was the preparation, characterization, and application of a multi-wall carbon nanotubes-epoxy composite electrode (MWCNT-EP) with 25%, wt. MWCNTs loading for the voltammetric/amperometric determination of pentachlorophenol (PCP) in aqueous solutions. The structural and morphological aspects of the MWCNT-EP composite electrode were examined by scanning electron microscopy. ...

The newly developed DNA-biosensor is a very promising tool for the investigation and study of the action of drugs specifically designed to interact with DNA. In this work the electrochemical reduction of nitroimidazole drugs was studied in the presence of DNA immobilized onto the surface of a glassy carbon electrode. This enabled preconcentration of the drug onto the electrode surface, which wa...

Investigation of the electrochemical behavior using cyclic voltammetry and detection of [Mn(2+)(thiophenyl-2-carboxylic acid)2 (triethanolamine)] with adsorptive stripping differential pulse voltammetry. The electrochemical behavior of a manganese(II) complex [Mn(2+)(thiophenyl-2-carboxylic acid)2(triethanolamine)] (A) was investigated using cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry in an aceta...

In this article, the electrochemical behavior of triethanolimine is described with a carbon paste electrode. A differential pulse voltammetric method was also developed for the determination of triethanolamine as an application to electroanalysis at a carbon paste electrode. The resultant voltammograms have revealed the irreversible electrochemical process that can be utilized to quantify the s...

Redox behavior of midazolam was studied at a glassy carbon electrode in various buffer systems, supporting electrolytes and pH using differential pulse, square-wave and cyclic voltammetry. Based on its reduction behavior, a direct differential pulse voltammetric method has been developed and validated for the determination of midazolam in parenteral dosage. Three well-defined peaks were observe...
