Application of a nanostructured platform and imprinted sol-gel film for determination of chlorogenic acid in food samples.

Chlorogenic acid (CGA) is a polyphenol derivative that widely exists in higher plants like fruits, vegetables, black teas, and some traditional Chinese medicines. In this work, we have proposed a sensitive and selective electrochemical sensor for detection of CGA. The sensor was based on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with a functional platform by grafting vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS) in multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and covered by a molecularly imprinted siloxane (MIS) film prepared using the sol-gel process.

Determination of the antiretroviral drug nevirapine in diluted alkaline electrolyte by adsorptive stripping voltammetry at the mercury film electrode.

This paper describes a stripping method for the determination of nevirapine at the submicromolar concentration levels. The method is based on controlled adsorptive accumulation of nevirapine at thin-film mercury electrode, followed by a linear cyclic scan voltammetry measurement of the surface species. Optimal experimental conditions include a 2.

Use of hydrogen peroxide to achieve interference-free stripping voltammetric determination of copper at the bismuth-film electrode.

In this work, a new approach is presented to allow interference-free determination of Cu (II) by stripping voltammetry using the bismuth-film electrode. The addition of hydrogen peroxide to the electroanalytical cell has promoted complete resolution between re-dissolution peaks of Bi (III) and Cu (II). The absence of interference could be evaluated by the correlation coefficient (r>0.
