Cloud point extraction (CPE) is a well-established technique for the preconcentration of hydrophobic species from water without the use of organic solvents. Subsequent analysis is then typically performed via atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), UV-vis spectroscopy, or high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). However, the suitability of CPE for electroanalytical methods such as stripping...

In this paper, a pencil graphite electrode was pretreated using chronoamperometry technique in phosphate buffer solution (pH=7.0) for sensitive determination of quercetin. Oxidation of quercetin was investigated using pretreated pencil graphite electrode and anodic stripping differential pulse voltammetry. Under optimal conditions, the anodic current of quercetin exhibited linear response to it...

This work reports on the continuing development of a lab-on-a-chip electrochemical sensor for determination of zinc in blood serum using square wave anodic stripping voltammetry. The microscale sensor consists of a three electrode system, including an environmentally friendly bismuth working electrode, an integrated silver/silver chloride reference electrode, and a gold auxiliary electrode. The...

A cheap and portable electrochemical immunosensor based on the silver-enhanced colloidal gold electrochemical stripping technique and gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) labels was proposed for the detection of human IgG. Inspired by adhesive proteins that secreted by marine mussels, the stable and robust film-poly (dopamine) was used to immobilize biomolecules (Ab1) on an indium tin oxide (ITO) electrod...

The commercially available equipment for potentiometric stripping analysis (PSA) was tested for routine lead and cadmium determination in whole-blood samples. In contrast to anodic stripping voltammetry, PSA is not subject to background interferences from organic electroactive constituents in the sample or to the presence of dissolved oxygen (i.e., oxygen removal is not necessary). To determine...

Nitrogen doped tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C:N) thin films were deposited on p-Si (1 11) substrates (1×10−3 to 6×10−3 cm) by a filtered cathodic vacuum arc technique with different nitrogen flow rates (3 and 20 sccm). The ta-C:N film coated samples were used as working electrodes to detect trace heavy metals such as zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), copper (Cu) and mercury (Hg) by using linear sweep a...

The characterktics of the irldium-based hemkphwkai mercury uitramlcrodectrode (Ha-UME) in conjunction with squarewave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) have been Investigated. Udng Hg-UMEs of 5-10-pn~ radii, samples were analyzed without any added electrolyte, deoxygenatlon, or forced convectlon. The peak stripping currents displayed a linear rdation8hip with d.porltion times varying from 1 ...

Complexing capacity of naturally occurring ligands in Vitis vinifera (Tempranillo variety) wines has been studied with respect to two target metals (Cu and Zn) by Differential Pulse Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (DPASV). Eight commercial wines of two certified brands of origin (CBO) and a young wine along its vinification process were monitored. Conditional stability constants and total complexi...

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. ...
