Electrochemical sensors and biosensors based on heterogeneous carbon materials

International audienceAn overview of the use of electrochemical sensors made from heterogeneous carbon materials (carbon paste electrodes, screen-printed carbon electrodes) in the field of food analysis is presented. Sensors for inorganic and organic analytes as well as biosensors are summarized

Carbonaceous materials for single-use sensors. Quality assessment by electrochemical impedance spectrometry

An overview of achievements and prospects of electrochemical impedance spectrometry (EIS) application for characterizing the surface of the carbon paste electrode (CPE) is emphasized. Several guidelines are pointed out and illustrated by preliminary experimental result

Trace Determination of Carbendazim Fungicide Using Adsorptive Stripping Voltammetry with a Carbon Paste Electrode Containing Tricresyl Phosphate

In this study, a carbon paste electrode based on tricresyl phosphate (TCP-CPE) as a binder has been applied to the voltammetric characterization and determination of Carbendazim fungicide (methyl-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl-carbamate, MBC). The pH effect (in Britton-Robinson buffers, pH 2.0-8.0), as well as the presence of 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HPCD) on the electrochemical behavior of MBC were investigated. In the potential range of interest, the oxidation signal was observed with the overall shape strongly dependent upon pH and exhibiting the most favorable signal-to-noise ratio in mild acidic solutions (pH 4.0). This has indicated that also protons are involved in the electrode transformation of MBC. Furthermore, it was confirmed that addition of 3.6.10(-5) mol L-1 HPCD significantly enhanced the sensitivity towards the target analyte. The experimental conditions optimised for the determination of MBC in the differential pulse adsorptive stripping voltammetric mode (DPAdSV) were as follows: initial potential, -0.10 V vs. Ag/AgCl; final potential, +1.30 V; accumulation potential, -0.35 V; accumulation time, 120 s, and the scan rate, 100 mV s(-1). The method developed offers linearity in the concentration range of 5.0 .10(-7) - 1.0.10(-5) mol L-1 MBC, with r = 0.995 and the limit of detection of about 3.0.10(-7) mol L-1. In a model sample of spiked river water, the recovery rate achieved was 101.9 % (at the concentrations from 1.0.10(-6) to 3.0.10(-6) mol L-1 MBC), suggesting one that the procedure can be applied in analysis of real samples
