First report on the electrooxidation of vinpocetine using a modification free sensing platform: application to pharmaceutical formulations.

This study presents the first insights into vinpocetine (VIN) behavior, a nootropic compound, on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Cyclic voltammetry (CV) revealed an irreversible oxidation peak at +1.0 V ( Ag/AgCl), with pH dependency indicating proton involvement in the electrochemical reaction.

Mesoporous Nitrogen-Doped Holey Reduced Graphene Oxide: Preparation, Purification, and Application for Metal-Free Electrochemical Sensing of Dopamine.

Holey graphenic nanomaterials with porosity within the basal plane attract significant interest. It is observed that the perforation of graphene can enhance the specific surface area of the nanosheet, ensuring effective wetting and penetration of electrolytes to the electrode surface, facilitating rapid charge transfer, and boosting the electrocatalytic efficacy of the transducers. This study reports the first example of nitrogen-doped holey reduced graphene oxide with a mesoporous morphology of the graphene basal plane (N-MHG).

Chitosan/genipin modified electrode for voltammetric determination of interleukin-6 as a biomarker of sepsis.

Ultrasensitive electroanalytical monitoring of interleukin-6 levels in serum samples has emerged as a valuable tool for the early diagnosis of inflammatory diseases. Despite its advantages, there is a lack of strategies for the label-free voltammetric determination of cytokines. Here, a novel chitosan/genipin modified fluorine tin oxide electrode was developed providing an in-situ hydrogel formation (FTO/CSG).

A high-performance electrochemical sensor based on a mesoporous silica/titania material and cobalt(II) phthalocyanine for sensitive pentachlorophenol determination.

The synthesis and characterization of a novel titania/silica hybrid xerogel subsequently modified with 4-methylpyridine (4-Pic), named TiSi4PicCl is reported. The physicochemical, structural and thermal properties of TiSi4PicCl were characterized using several techniques. Anchoring cobalt(II) phthalocyanine (CoTsPc) in TiSi4PicCl showed greater electroanalytical sensitivity over other sensors built with these materials.

Sensitive simultaneous voltammetric determination of the herbicides diuron and isoproturon at a platinum/chitosan bio-based sensing platform.

Phenylurea herbicides are persistent contaminants, which leads their transport to the surface and ground waters, affecting human and aquatic organisms. Different analytical methods have been reported for the detection of phenylureas; however, several of them are expensive, time-consuming, and require complex pretreatment steps. Here, we show a simple method for the simultaneous electrochemical determination of two phenylurea herbicides by differential pulse adsorptive stripping voltammetry (DPAdSV) using a modified platinum/chitosan electrode.

Voltammetric determination of Se(IV) and Se(VI) in saline samples--studies with seawater, hydrothermal and hemodialysis fluids.

Determination of Se(IV) and Se(VI) in high saline media was investigated by cathodic stripping voltammetry (CSV). The voltammetric method was applied to assay selenium in seawater, hydrothermal and hemodialysis fluids. The influence of ionic strength on selenium determination is discussed.

Simultaneous determination of Al(III) and Fe(III) in post-hemodialysis fluids by spectrophotometry and multivariate calibration.

A multivariate calibration model (PLS) was developed for the simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of Al(III) and Fe(III) in post-hemodialysis fluids with pyrocathecol violet (PCV) as chromogenic reagent. The analytes build stable complexes with PCV in presence of hexamine buffered medium at pH 6.1.
