A novel single-piece all-solid-state ion-selective electrode (SC/ISE) based on carbon-screen printed is introduced. Polyaniline (PANI) is dissolved in a membrane cocktail that contains the same components used for making a conventional ion-selective polyvinyl chloride (PVC) matrix membrane. The membrane, having the PANI, is directly drop-casted on a carbon substrate (screen-printed-carbon electrode). PANI was added to act as an intermediary between the substrate and the membrane for the charge transfer process. Under non-equilibrium sensing mechanism, the sensors revealed high sensitivity towards 2,4-dichlorophenol (DCP) over the linearity range 0.47 to 13 µM and a detection limit 0.13 µm. The selectivity was measured by the modified separate solution method (MSSM) and showed good selectivity towards 2,4-DCP over the most commonly studied ions. All measurements were done in 30 mm Tris buffer solution at a pH 5.0. Using constant-current chronopotentiometry, the potential drift for the proposed electrodes was checked. Improvement in the potential stability of the SPE was observed after the addition of PANI in the sensing membrane as compared to the corresponding coated-wire electrode (membrane without PANI). The applicability of the sensor has been checked by measuring 2,4-DCP in different water samples and the results were compared with the standard HPLC method.

A novel disposable screen-printed immunosensor for rapid determination of highly sensitive C reactiveprotein (hs-CRP) in human serum has been developed in the experiment. The sensor was constructed on one screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) with HRP labeled anti-hs-CRP antibody functionalized Fe3O4@Au magnetic nanoparticles (HRP labeled anti hs-CRP/ Fe3O4@Au) as the biorecognition probes attracted on the surface of Fe (III) phthalocyanine (FePc)/ chitosan membrane modified screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE|FePc/Chit/chitosan) by external magnetic field. FePc was acted as electron immediate. The modified electrode shows an excellent electrocatalytic activity for hs-CRP in phosphate buffer solution (pH=7.0). After the immunosensor is incubated with hs-CRP antigen solution at 37°C for 20 min, the access of activity center of the HRP to electrode is partly inhibited, which leads to a linear decrease of the catalytic efficiency of the HRP to the reduction of immobilized FePc by H2O2 at –50 mV in hs-CRP’s concentration ranges from 1.2 to 200 ng/mL. The detection limit was 0.5ng/mL. The immunosensor was successfully utilized for determination of hs-CRP in real serum samples of heart disease patients, whose results were consistent with that by ELISA method. The accuracy and precision of the assay were 91.5-104.4% and 15.8-24.4%, respectively. The immunosensor was reusable once constructed and can be regenerated by adding new nanoprobes on the surface of basal electrode through magnet on its bottom. It can greatly reduce the detection cost which is valuable for the early diagnosis of tumors.

Flower-like La3+/ZnO nanocomposite was facile synthesized. A simple and ultrasensitive sensor based on graphite screen printed electrode (SPE) modified by La3+/ZnO nanoflower was developed for the electrochemical determination of dopamine. The electrochemical behavior of dopamine was studied in 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution (PBS) using cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry (CA) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Compared with the unmodified graphite screen printed electrode, the modified electrode facilitates the electron transfer of dopamine, since it notably increases the oxidation peak current of dopamine. Also, according to CV results the maximum oxidation of dopamine on La3+/ZnO/SPE occurs at 150 mV which is about 140 mV more negative compared with unmodified SPE. Under optimized conditions, the modified electrode exhibited a linear response over the concentration range from 0.15 to 300.0 μM, with a detection limit of 0.08 μM (S/N = 3). The proposed sensor exhibited a high sensitivity, good stability and was successfully applied for dopamine determination in dopamine ampoule, with high recovery.

Tyrosinase, chitosan, and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) are sequentially used to modify a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) for the detection of dopamine (DA), without interference from uric acid (UA) or ascorbic acid (AA). The use of tyrosinase significantly improves the detection’s specificity. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements demonstrate the high sensitivity and selectivity of the proposed electrochemical sensors, with detection limits of 22 nM and broad linear ranges of 0.4–8 μM and 40–500 μM. The fabricated tyrosinase/chitosan/rGO/SPCE electrodes achieve satisfactory results when applied to human urine samples, thereby demonstrating their feasibility for analyzing DA in physiological samples.

This research reported the simple method to determine of dopamine (DA) in the simultaneous presence of ascorbic acid (AA) and uric acid (UA). Three – electrode system manufactured by screen printing method was used due to its disposal and low cost. The screen printed carbon electrode (SPCE) was oxidized by electrochemical technique in acid medium. The capacity of oxidized electrode for selective detection of dopamine was confirmed in a sufficient amount of ascorbic acid and uric acid. The large separated peaks of DA from ascorbic acid and uric acid are observed. The peak separation between UA and DA, DA and AA was 110 mV and 160 mV, respectively. The bare SPCE cannot determine simultaneously AA and DA due to the overlap peaks of AA and DA around 0.2 V vs AgCl/Ag. This sensor also exhibited good sensitivity to DA with limit of detection 100 nM in phosphate buffer solution.

     The direct electron transfer behavior of hemoglobin that is immobilized onto screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) modified with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and chitosan (CS) was studied in this work. Cyclic voltametry and spectrophotometry were used to characterize the hemoglobin (Hb) bioconjunction with AgNPs and CS. Results of the modified electrode showed quasi-reversible redox peaks with a formal potential of (-0.245V) versus Ag/AgCl in 0.1M phosphate buffer solution (PBS), pH7, at a scan rate of 0.1Vs-1. The charge transfer coefficient (α) was 0.48 and the apparent electron transfer rate constant (Ks) was 0.47s-1. The electrode was used as a hydrogen peroxide biosensor with a linear response over 3 to 240 µM and a detection limit of 0.6 µM. As a result, the modified biosensor here has exhibited a high sensitivity, good reproducibility and stability.

In this study, we present a simple, sensitive and selective analytical procedure for the ibuprofen (IBP) analysis using the commercially available screen-printed carbon electrode electrochemically activated (aSPCE) by cyclic voltammetry in 0.1 M NaOH. The quantitative determinations of IBP were carried out in 0.25 M acetate buffer solution of pH 4.5 ± 0.1 using the differential-pulse voltammetry (DPV). Different experimental parameters for DPV analysis were optimized, including pH and concentration of supporting electrolyte, amplitude (ΔEA), scan rate (ν) and modulation time (tm). The linear ranges of calibration curve were from 0.50–20.0 and 20.0–500.0 µM. The detection and quantification limits were estimated to be 0.059 and 0.20 µM. The aSPCE displayed satisfactory repeatability, reproducibility, and selectivity. Furthermore, the DPV procedure with the use of aSPCE was used to determination of IBP in pharmaceutical formulations. The results achieved by DPV show satisfactory agreement with those obtained by manufacturers (the relative errors are in the range of 3.1–4.7%).

Aim and scope: Due to the serious toxicological risks and their widespread use, quantitative determination of phthalates in cosmetic products have importance for public health. The aim of this study was to develop a validated simple, rapid and reliable high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for the determination of phthalates which are; dimethyl phthalate (DMP), diethyl phthalate (DEP), benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP), di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP), di(2- ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), in cosmetic products and to investigate these phthalate (PHT) levels in 48 cosmetic products marketing in Sivas, Turkey. Materials and Methods: Separation was achieved by a reverse-phase ACE-5 C18 column (4.6 x 250 mm, 5.0 μm). As the mobile phase, 5 mM KH2PO4 and acetonitrile were used gradiently at 1.5 ml min-1. All PHT esters were detected at 230 nm and the run time was taking 21 minutes. Results: This method showed the high sensitivity value the limit of quantification (LOQ) values for which are below 0.64 μg mL-1 of all phthalates. Method linearity was ≥0.999 (r2). Accuracy and precision values of all phthalates were calculated between (-6.5) and 6.6 (RE%) and ≤6.2 (RSD%), respectively. Average recovery was between 94.8% and 99.6%. Forty-eight samples used for both babies and adults were successfully analyzed by the developed method. Results have shown that, DMP (340.7 μg mL-1 ±323.7), DEP (1852.1 μg mL-1 ± 2192.0), and DBP (691.3 μg mL-1 ± 1378.5) were used highly in nail polish, fragrance and cream products, respectively. Conclusion: Phthalate esters, which are mostly detected in the content of fragrance, cream and nail polish products and our research in general, are DEP (1852.1 μg mL-1 ± 2192.0), DBP (691.3 μg mL-1 ± 1378.5) and DMP (340.7 μg mL-1 ±323.7), respectively. Phthalates were found in the content of all 48 cosmetic products examined, and the most detected phthalates in general average were DEP (581.7 μg mL-1 + 1405.2) with a rate of 79.2%. The unexpectedly high phthalate content in the examined cosmetic products revealed a great risk of these products on human health. The developed method is a simple, sensitive, reliable and economical alternative for the determination of phthalates in the content of cosmetic products, it can be used to identify phthalate esters in different products after some modifications.

Background: Cefoperazone Sulbactam injection is a cephalosporin antibiotic with a β- lactamase inhibitor used in the treatment for intra abdominal infections, Urinary track infections, surgical infections, etc. The combination is not official in any of the pharmacopeia for their content and impurities determination. Introduction: The present study involves the development of a simple, rapid, accurate, sensitive and stability indicating RP-HPLC method for the quantitative estimation of Cefoperazone Sulbactam mixture and its impurities in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage forms. Methods: 0.005 M Tetrabutyl ammonium hydroxide buffer solution pH adjusted to 6.80 and Acetonitrile combination has been used in a gradient programme with a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. The retention time of Cefoperazone and Sulbactam were observed at around 8.5 and 19.5 minutes respectively. The UV detection was carried out at a wavelength of 230 nm. The chromatographic separation was achieved using Waters xbridge C18-150*4.6 mm, 3.5 µm HPLC column. The method has been validated according to the current International Council for Harmonization (ICH) guidelines for the method validation parameters such as Specificity, linearity, range, accuracy, precision, robustness and sensitivity. Results: The validation results indicate that the method is specific, as the known impurities and other impurities formed during the forced degradation studies were not co-eluting with the main components. Moreover, all these impurities were found to be spectrally pure, proving the stability indicating power of the method. The linearity and range of the method is in the range of 0.01-150%, highly accurate (100.2%), precise (<1%) and robust. Conclusion: The proposed method was accurate and specific for the quantitative analysis of Cefoperazone and Sulbactam and their related impurities in the sterile mixture. Hence the proposed method can be used for the quantification of impurities in routine as well as stability analysis in the development as well as quality control laboratories.

Background: Recently, Derris scandens, a Thai herbal medicine with anti-inflammatory activity, is widely used as beverage and supplementary food. When the traditional medicine is a choice for health therapy, the simple and reliable equipment is required to control the suitable consuming amount of the active component. Objective: To develop the electrochemical sensor for genistein determination in Derris scandens with high sensitivity and rapid operation. Methods: An in-house screen-printed electrochemical sensor consisting of a three-electrode system was developed for genistein determination. A silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) reference electrode, a carbon counter electrode and a carbon working electrode were prepared on a 0.3-mm-thick plastic substrate by the screen-printing technique using conductive ink. The dimensions of each sensor were 2.5×1.0 cm. Only 50 µL of sample solution was required on this device for the determination of genistein concentration by rapid response square wave voltammetry. Results: The oxidation peak of genistein appeared with good response in acidic media at a peak potential of 0.6 V. Moreover, the signal was enhanced by modifying the conductive carbon ink with cobalt( II) phthalocyanine. Under the optimized conditions, the linear range was found to be 2.5-150 µM and the detection limit was 1.5 µM. Moreover, the small volume extraction was successfully developed without any further pre-concentration. This proposed method was applied to determine genistein in Derris scandens with satisfying results. Conclusion: The proposed method is promising as an alternative method for genistein determination with facile and fast analysis.
