Preparation and application of platinum composite microelectrode (PCM) for the routine analysis of acetaminophen in pharmaceutical products has been carried out. This electrode was prepare by Pt powder and PVC in 4 mL tetrahydrofuran (THF) solvent and swirled flatly to homogeneous followed by drying in an oven at 100 °C for 3 h. The mixture was placed in 0.5 cm diameter stainless steel mould and pressed at 10 ton/cm2. The cyclic voltammetry were performed in a three electrodes system using PCM as a working electrode, an Ag/AgCl (saturated KCl) as reference electrode and platinum wire as the counter electrode. Electroanalysis of acetaminophen was performed in 0.1 M H2SO4 as an electrolyte. The result of the study showed that the correlation of determination using PCM electrode for electroanalysis acetaminophen was R2 = 0.999. Precision, recovery, LOD and LOQ of the PCM towards acetaminophen were found to be 1.04%, 100.54%, 19.52 mg/L and 65.08 mg/L, respectively. As a conclusion, the methods can be used for routine analysis of acetaminophen in pharmaceutical product. Simplicity of sample preparation and use of low cost reagents are the additional benefit of this method.

AbstractThere is need to rapidly measure biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) to estimate organic pollution in wastewater. Biosensors are able to estimate BOD values within 5–30 minutes, but they have some limitations that can be overcome with biosensor-array. This work used sensor-array, which consists of 8 × 3 electrodes. The working electrode was inner Pt circle electrode, counter electrode was a Pt band electrode and the reference electrode was a silver wire. The potentiostat was used to record cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The pumping speed was set at 1.5 cm3 min−1 or higher, to avoid the interference. Next, sensor-array was tested to measure different oxygen amounts and calibrated accordingly. Lastly, Pseudomonas putida membranes were calibrated and used to estimate BOD value. The calibration gave linear range up to 85 mg L−1 of BOD and sensitivity from 0.0018 to 0.0068. Real industrial wastewater, from lignocellulosic bioethanol production, was used to test the biosensor-array. It underestimated BOD values from 8 to 37 %. This biosensor-array allows to measure BOD value in less than 15 minutes.

Abstract A flexible sensor is presented for electrochemical detection of ascorbic acid in sweat based on single-step modified gold microelectrodes. The modification consists of electrodeposition of alginate membrane with trapped CuO nanoparticles. The electrodes are fabricated at a thin polyimide support and the soft nature of the membrane can withstand mechanical stress beyond requirements for skin monitoring. After characterization of the membrane via optical and scanning electron microscopy and cyclic voltammetry, the oxidative properties of CuO are exploited toward ascorbic acid for amperometric measurement at micromolar levels in neutral buffer and acidic artificial sweat, at ultralow applied potential (− 5 mV vs. Au pseudo-reference electrode). Alternatively, measurement of the horizontal shift of redox peaks by cyclic voltammetry is also possible. Obtaining a limit of detection of 1.97 μM, sensitivity of 0.103 V log (μM)−1 of peak shift, and linear range of 10–150 μM, the effect of possible interfering species present in sweat is minimized, with no observable cross-reaction, thus maintaining a high degree of selectivity despite the absence of enzymes in the fabrication scheme. With a lateral flow approach for sample delivery, repeated measurements show recovery in few seconds, with relative standard deviation of about 20%, which can serve to detect increased loss or absence of vitamin, and yet be improved in future by optimized device designs. This sensor is envisioned as a promising component of wearable devices for e.g. non-invasive monitoring of micronutrient loss through sweat, comprising features of light weight, low cost, and easy fabrication needed for such application.

Treatment of graphene/SiC dies in inorganic electrolytes (KOH, KCl and Na2SO4) is discussed. An electrochemical method based on the cyclic voltammetry in a conventional three-electrode cell with Ag/AgCl reference electrode, a platinum counter electrode, and the graphene/SiC dies as working electrode (anode) is used for the treatment. It was observed either partial oxidation of graphene or its complete dissolution with the formation of CO2. The treatment performed resulted in the deterioration of the graphene films and change of the graphene-die resistivity depending on the range of the scanning potential applied to the graphene/SiC dies.

In this study, commercially available bare stainless steel 304 was investigated as a working electrode in urea electrooxidation in alkaline solution using different electrochemical techniques like cyclic voltammetry (CV) and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV). The electrode stability was also investigated by the constant potential electrolysis test. Different concentrations of KOH (0.5-4 M) were employed to study the electrooxidation of urea solution with concentration of 0.33 M. An anodic peak current density of 34.82mA/cm2 was obtained at 473 mV versus Ag/AgCl reference electrode in urea solution at KOH concentration of 4 M. Stainless steel properties such as corrosion resistance, low cost in addition to its catalytic activity make it an ideal anodic electrocatalyst for electrooxidation of urea-rich wastewater.

Cyclic Voltammetry Method

Hydrogen production by water electrolysis can be optimalized by improve the working electrode. Stainless steel as working electrode was coated with graphene and polyaniline by using cyclic voltammetry method with Ag/AgCl as reference electrode and Pt as counter electrode. Coated electrodes were characterized by SEM-EDS and cyclic voltammetry method. Furthermore, the synthesized electrode was applied for water electrolysis by adding 1- 5 g/L NaHCO3. The characterization data showed that Stainless steel/Graphene-Polyaniline electrode can be synthesized by using cyclic voltammetry. The coating process was conducted at sweeping rate 10 mV/s on voltage -0.2 to 0.8 V for 10 cycles. The voltammograms showed that the highest cathodic peak current of electrolysis obtained at 0.491 mA by addition 2 g NaHCO3 on SS/G-PANi0,5 electrode, and the highest anodic peak current obtained at 0.191 mA by addition 2 g NaHCO3 on SS/G-PANi0,5 electrode. Based on the overpotential data, the smallest average potential difference of H+ adsorption obtained by SS/G-PANi1,0 electrode, and the smallest average potential difference of H+ desorption obtained by SS/G-PANi0,5 electrode.

Development And Validation

Background: A simple, eco-friendly and low-cost Infrared (IR) method was developed and validated for the analysis of Cefepime Hydrochloride (CEF) in injectable formulation. Different from some other methods, which employ organic solvents in the analyses, this technique does not use these types of solvents, removing large impacts on the environment and risks to operators. Objective: This study aimed at developing and validating a green analytical method using IR spectroscopy for the determination of CEF in pharmaceutical preparations. Methods: The method was validated according to ICH guidelines and the quantification of CEF was performed in the spectral region absorbed at 1815-1745 cm-1 (stretching of the carbonyl group of β- lactam ring). Results: The validated method showed to be linear (r = 0.9999) in the range of 0.2 to 0.6 mg/pellet of potassium bromide, as well as for the parameters of selectivity, precision, accuracy, robustness and Limits of Detection (LOD) and Quantification (LOQ), being able to quantify the CEF in pharmaceutical preparations. The CEF content obtained by the IR method was 103.86%. Conclusion: Thus, the method developed may be an alternative in the quality control of CEF sample in lyophilized powder for injectable solution, as it presented important characteristics in the determination of the pharmaceutical products, with low analysis time and a decrease in the generation of toxic wastes to the environment.
