Article Abstract

A highly sensitive electrochemical biosensor for the detection of trace amounts of promethazine has been designed. Double stranded (ds)DNA molecules are immobilized onto a pretreated glassy carbon electrode (GCE(ox)) surface. The voltammetric behaviors of promethazine on DNA-modified electrode were explored by means of cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The promethazine gave rise to a pair of well-defined peaks, which appeared at E(pc) = 52 mV and E(pa) = 96 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl) in 0.10 M acetate buffer (pH 5.0). The peak current was linearly enhanced with increasing the concentration of promethazine. The calibration was linear for promethazine over the range of 4.7 x 10(-10) to 9.3 x 10(-9) M with a correlation coefficient of 0.999. The limit of detection (LODs) was 3.0 x 10(-10) M (S/N = 3). The modified electrode was applied to determine promethazine in human blood samples with satisfactory results.

In this study, a novel pretreatment of a glassy carbon electrode was conducted cyclic voltammetry (CV), successfully fabricating an activated glassy carbon electrode (AGCE). A simple two-step electrochemical pretreatment method was established. During the first stage, anodic oxidation pretreatment was achieved by potentiometric scanning across a wide potential range and at a high anodic potential.

Risperidone (RIS) is one of the most prescribed atypical antipsychotics approved for the treatment of various neuropsychiatric diseases. For the correlation of serum concentration and pharmacological effects of RIS, therapeutic drug monitoring is considered a fundamental concept for clinical application. This paper is provided to develop an electrochemical probe for the determination of RIS in biological samples by modification of glassy carbon electrode (GCE) using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and iron metal-organic-frameworks (FeMOFs).

Bisphenol A (BPA) is widely used in the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins, and it is now classified as an emerging pollutant due to its extensive environmental presence. Given the need for effective BPA monitoring, this study presents a cost-effective electrochemical approach for its quantification, using pyrolytic graphite sheets (GSs) as working electrodes integrated into a 3D-printed electrochemical cell. Despite initially exhibiting an intense voltammetric peak for BPA, fouling of the GS surface resulted in a progressive decrease in the BPA signal over successive scans.
