Application of gold nanoparticles self-assembled with N-carboxyl- L-cysteine for the determination of iron(III) was investigated. Differential pulse adsorptive stripping voltammetry was used to detect iron(III). Various operational parameters were investigated and discussed in terms of their effects on the measurement signals. A linear range from 0.1 nM to 1.8 nM with a detection limit of 0.03 nMwas obtained under optimized conditions. The applicability of the method was successfully tested by determination of iron(III) in sea water samples.

This work describes the spectrofluorimetric determination of thiamine in the presence of vitamin B complexes using 4-amino-6-hydroxy-2-mercaptopyrimidine as fluorophore. The detection limit was found to be 6.8 fM L−1 (S/N = 3).

The simultaneous electrochemical determination of Zn(II), Cd(II), Pb(II), and Cu(II) in the aqueous solution has been developed on the basis of the bismuth film glassy carbon electrode (GCE) using differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DP-ASV). The bismuth film electrode (BiFE) was prepared by adding 500 ppb bismuth(III) directly to the sample solution and simultaneously depositing bismuth and the metal analytes on GCE. The optimal operational parameters, namely, accumulation potential (–1.6 V), accumulation time (110 s), pulsed amplitude (0.07 V), and scan rate (0.021 V·s−1), were found using a Box–Behnken design. Under the optimum conditions, a linear relationship exists between the current and the concentration of Zn(II), Cd(II), Pb(II), and Cu(II) in the range between 5.0 ppb and 110.0 ppb with the detection limits of 1.07 for Zn(II), 0.93 ppb for Cd(II), 0.65 ppb for Pb(II), and 0.94 ppb for Cu(II) calculated on the basis of a signal-to-noise ratio equal to 3 (S/N = 3). The interference experiments show that Co(II), Ni(II), and Fe(III) have a little influence on the DP-ASV signals of Zn(II), Cd(II), Pb(II), and Cu(II). In addition, a high reproducibility was indicated from small relative standard deviations (1.03%, 1.74%, 1.32%, and 4.74%) for 25 repeated measurements of 15 ppb copper, lead, cadmium, and zinc solutions. BiFE was successfully applied to determine Zn(II), Cd(II), Pb(II), and Cu(II) in river samples, and the results are in a good agreement with those determined with graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GF-AAS).

A solid-state sensor was fabricated by a spontaneous electrochemical deposition of polytyramine (Ptyr) film onto a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) which was further peripherally supported by gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The surface materials of the developed sensor (AuNPs.Ptyr-GCE) were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The rate constant of charge transfers (kct) of the as-prepared sensor (8.77 × 10-4 cm/s) was evaluated by fitting the charge transfer resistance (Rct) data in the presence of ferric-ferrous hexacyanide redox couple solution, [Fe(CN)6]3-/4-. The voltammetric behavior of norepinephrine (NOR) was confirmed to follow an irreversible reaction mechanism at which the estimated diffusion coefficient value was 7.39 × 10-5 cm2/s. The sensor showed a large enhancement on NOR oxidation and comparatively lowered its detection limit (DL3s) to 0.130 mM (22 ppb). It was also applied for selective determination of NOR in the presence of high concentrations of ascorbic acid (AA) and uric acid (UA). The interference study highlighted the great stability of the proposed sensor by generating a similar sensitivity as in the pure NOR solution. The analytical performance of the proposed system was validated successfully for pharmaceutical and biological samples with tolerable recovery percentages.
