Voltammetric detection of tetracycline in water at boron-doped diamond electrode

In this work a voltammetric based protocol for detection of tetracycline (TC), considered as emergent pollutant in water, was developed. The electrochemical behavior of TC studied by cyclic voltammetry was considered to optimize operating conditions of advanced voltammetric tehniques, e.g., differential-pulsed voltammetry (DPV) and square-wave voltammetry (SWV). The best electroanalytical parameters for TC detection of 2,29 µA/µM sensitivity and limit of detection (LOD) were achieved using SWV under SP of 0.05V, MA of 0.1V and frequency of 10 Hz
