Simultaneous determination of ascorbic acid,dopamine and uric acid based on tryptophan functionalized graphene

A new type of tryptophan-functionalized graphene nanocomposite (Trp-GR) was synthesized by utilizing a facile ultrasonic method via π–π conjugate action between graphene (GR) and tryptophan (Trp) molecule. The material as prepared had well dispersivity in water and better conductivity than pure GR. The surface morphology of Trp-GR was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Raman spectroscopy. The electrochemical behaviors of ascorbic acid (AA), dopamine (DA), and uric acid (UA) were investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) on the surface of Trp-GR. The separation of the oxidation peak potentials for AA–DA, DA–UA and UA–AA was about 182 mV, 125 mV and 307 mV, which allowed simultaneously determining AA, DA, and UA. Differential pulse voltammetery (DPV) was used for the determination of AA, DA, and UA in their mixture. Under optimum conditions, the linear response ranges for the determination of AA, DA, and UA were 0.2–12.9 mM, 0.5–110 μM, and 10–1000 μM, with the detection limits (S/N = 3) of 10.09 μM, 0.29 μM and 1.24 μM, respectively. Furthermore, the modified electrode was investigated for real sample analysis.

A silver hexacyanoferrate nanoparticles/carbon nanotubes modified glassy carbon electrode was fabricated and then successfully used for the simultaneous determination of ascorbic acid, dopamine and uric acid by cyclic voltammetry. A detailed investigation by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electrochemistry was performed in order to elucidate the preparation process and properties of the nanocomposites. The size of silver hexacyanoferrate nanoparticles was examined by TEM around 27 nm. Linear calibration plots were obtained over the range of 4.0 × 10⁻⁶-7.8 × 10⁻⁵, 2.4 × 10⁻⁶-1.3 × 10⁻⁴ and 2.0 × 10⁻⁶-1.5 × 10⁻⁴ mol L⁻¹ with detection limits of 4.2 × 10⁻⁷,1.4 × 10⁻⁷ and 6.0 × 10⁻⁸ mol L⁻¹ for ascorbic acid, dopamine and uric acid, respectively. The practical analytical utilities of the modified electrode were demonstrated by the determination of ascorbic acid, dopamine and uric acid in urine and human blood serum samples.     

A simple electroanalytical methodology for the simultaneous determination of dopamine,serotonin and ascorbic acid using an unmodified edge plane pyrolytic graphite electrode

A simple method using an unmodified edge plane pyrolytic graphite electrode (EPPGE) is reported for the simultaneous determination of dopamine (DA), serotonin (ST) and ascorbic acid (AA). The performance of this electrode is superior to other unmodified carbon-based electrodes and also to many modified electrodes in terms of detection limit, sensitivity and peak separation for determination of DA, ST and AA. Using this method, detection limits of 90 nM, 60 nM and 200 nM were obtained for DA, ST and AA respectively. No electrode fouling is observed during a set of experiments and good sensitivity is obtained for the simultaneous determination of DA, ST and AA. The peaks for the three species are well resolved from each other and the electrode is successfully utilised for their determination in standard and real samples.      

Synthesis of Pt/ionic liquid/graphene nanocomposite and its simultaneous determination of ascorbic acid and dopamine

A water-soluble and electroactive composite - Pt nanoparticles/polyelectrolyte-functionalized ionic liquid (PFIL)/graphene sheets (GS) nanocomposite was synthesized in one pot. The structure and composition of the Pt/PFIL/GS nanocomposite were studied by means of ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) images reveal Pt nanoparticles are densely dispersed on the transparent thin PFIL-functionalized graphene sheets. The obtained Pt/PFIL/GS nanocomposite-modified electrode was fabricated to simultaneously determine ascorbic acid (AA) and dopamine (DA) by cyclic voltammetry. It is worthwhile noting that the difference between the two peak potentials of AA and DA oxidation is over 200 mV, which leads to distinguishing AA from DA. The detection of increasing concentrations of AA in the presence of DA and the oxidation of continuous addition of DA in the presence of AA were also studied using differential pulse voltammetry. The proposed sensor in real sample analysis was also examined in human urine samples. Three independent oxidation peaks appear in urine sample containing AA and DA. Therefore, the Pt/PFIL/GS nanocomposite might offer a good possibility for applying it to routine analysis of AA and DA in clinical use.     

Exploiting micellar environment for simultaneous electrochemical determination of ascorbic acid and dopamine

A simple and reliable method for simultaneous electrochemical determination of ascorbic acid (AA) and dopamine (DA) is presented in this work. It was based on the use of the cationic surfactant cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) that enables the separation of the oxidation peaks potential of AA and DA. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) as well as pulse differential voltammetry (PDV) were used in order to verify the voltammetric behaviour in micellar media. In the cationic surfactant CPC, a remarkable electrostatic interaction is established with negatively charged AA, as a consequence, the oxidation peak potential shifted toward less positive potential and the peak current increased. On the other hand, the positively charged DA is repelled from the electrode surface and the oxidation peak potential shifts toward more positive potential in comparison to the bare electrode. Therefore, the common overlapped oxidation peaks of AA and DA can be circumventing by using CPC. Parameter that affects the E_pa and I_pa such as CPC concentration and pH were studied. Under optimised conditions, the method presented a linear response to AA and DA in the concentration range from 5 to 75 μmol L⁻¹ and 10 to 100 μmol L⁻¹, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied to the simultaneous determination of AA and DA in dopamine hydrochloride injection (DHI) samples spiked with AA.     

An electrochemical ascorbic acid sensor based on palladium nanoparticles supported on graphene oxide

In this study, an electrochemical ascorbic acid (AA) sensor was constructed based on a glassy carbon electrode modified with palladium nanoparticles supported on graphene oxide (PdNPs-GO). PdNPs with a mean diameter of 2.6 nm were homogeneously deposited on GO sheets by the redox reaction between PdCl₄²⁻ and GO. Cyclic voltammetry and amperometric methods were used to evaluate the electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of AA in neutral media. Compared to a bare GC or a Pd electrode, the anodic peak potential of AA (0.006 V) at PdNPs-GO modified electrode was shifted negatively, and the large anodic peak potential separation (0.172 V) of AA and dopamine (DA), which could contribute to the synergistic effect of GO and PdNPs, was investigated. A further amperometric experiment proved that the proposed sensor was capable of sensitive and selective sensing of AA even in the presence of DA and uric acid. The modified electrode exhibited a rapid response to AA within 5 s and the amperometric signal showed a good linear correlation to AA concentration in a broad range from 20 μM to 2.28 mM with a correlation coefficient of R = 0.9991. Moreover, the proposed sensor was applied to the determination of AA in vitamin C tablet samples. The satisfactory results obtained indicated that the proposed sensor was promising for the development of novel electrochemical sensing for AA determination.

A highly sensitive method was investigated for the simultaneous determination of acetaminophen (AC), dopamine (DA), and ascorbic acid (AA) using a PbS nanoparticles Schiff base-modified carbon paste electrode (PSNSB/CPE). Differential pulse voltammetry peak currents of AC, DA and AA increased linearly with their concentrations within the ranges of 3.30 × 10⁻⁸–1.58 × 10⁻⁴ M, 5.0 × 10⁻⁸–1.2 × 10⁻⁴ M and 2.50 × 10⁻⁶–1.05 × 10⁻³ M, respectively, and the detection limits for AC, DA and AA were 5.36 × 10⁻⁹, 2.45 × 10⁻⁹ and 1.86 × 10⁻⁸ M, respectively. The peak potentials recorded in a phosphate buffer solution (PBS) of pH 4.6 were 0.672, 0.390, and 0.168 V (vs Ag/AgCl) for AC, DA and AA, respectively. The modified electrode was used for the determination of AC, DA, and AA simultaneously in real and synthetic samples.     

Facile synthesis of graphene hybrid tube-like structure for simultaneous detection of ascorbic acid,dopamine, uric acid and tryptophan

In the present work, a tube-like structure of graphene hybrid as modifier to fabricate electrode for simultaneous detection of ascorbic acid (AA), dopamine (DA), uric acid (UA) and tryptophan (Trp) was reported. The hybrid was synthesized by a simple method based on graphene sheets (GS) and 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic acid (PTCA) via π–π stacking interaction under ultrasonic condition. The combination of GS and PTCA could effectively improve the dispersion of GS, owing to PTCA with the carboxylic-functionalized interface. Comparing with pure GS or PTCA modified electrode, GS–PTCA displayed high catalytic activity and selectivity toward the oxidation of AA, DA, UA, and Trp. Moreover, cyclic voltammetry, different pulse voltammetry and scanning electron microscopy were employed to characterize the sensors. The experiment results showed that the linear response range for simultaneous detection of AA, DA, UA, and Trp were 20–420 μM, 0.40–374 μM, 4–544 μM and 0.40–138 μM, respectively, and the detection limits were 5.60 μM, 0.13 μM, 0.92 μM and 0.06 μM (S/N = 3). Importantly, the proposed method offers promise for simple, rapid, selective and cost-effective analysis of small biomolecules.

Nanocrystalline graphite-like pyrolytic carbon film (PCF) electrode fabricated by a non-catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process was used for the simultaneous electrochemical sensing of ascorbic acid (AA), dopamine (DA), and uric acid (UA). The electrode was studied with respect to changes in electrocatalytic activity caused by a simple and fast electrochemical pretreatment. The anodized electrode exhibited excellent performance compared to many chemically modified electrodes in terms of detection limit, linear dynamic range, and sensitivity. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was used for the simultaneous determination of ternary mixtures of DA, AA, and UA. Under optimum conditions, the detection limits were 2.9 μM for AA, 0.04 μM for DA, and 0.03 μM for UA with sensitivities of 0.078, 5.345, and 6.192 A M⁻¹, respectively. The peak separation was 219 mV between AA and DA and 150 mV between DA and UA. No electrode fouling was observed and good reproducibility was obtained in all the experiments. The sensor was successfully applied for the assay of DA in an injectable drug and UA in human urine by using standard addition method.

This modified electrode exhibited a potent and persistent electron-mediating behavior followed by well-separated oxidation peaks toward AA and DA at a scan rate of 10 mV s⁻¹ with a potential difference of 135 mV, which was large enough to determine AA and DA individually and simultaneously. The catalytic peak current obtained was linearly dependent on the AA and DA concentrations in the range of 2.0 × 10⁻⁵−1.2 × 10⁻³ and 1.0 × 10⁻⁶−4.0 × 10⁻⁵ mol L⁻¹ in 0.15 mol L⁻¹ phosphate buffer (pH 6.64).

Electropolymerized film of functionalized thiadiazole on glassy carbon electrode for the simultaneous determination of ascorbic acid, dopamine and uric acid

The present study reports the simultaneous determination of ascorbic acid (AA), dopamine (DA) and uric acid (UA) in 0.20 M phosphate buffer solution (pH 5.0) using electropolymerized ultrathin film of 5-amino-2-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (AMT) on glassy carbon (GC) electrode. The bare GC electrode does not separate the voltammetric signals of AA, DA and UA. However, electropolymerized AMT (p-AMT) modified GC electrode not only resolved the voltammetric signals of AA, DA and UA but also dramatically enhanced their oxidation peak currents when compared to bare GC electrode. The enhanced oxidation currents for AA, DA and UA at p-AMT modified electrode are due to the electrostatic interactions between them and the polymer film. Using amperometric method, we achieved the lowest detection of 75 nM AA, 40 nM DA and 60 nM UA at p-AMT modified electrode. The amperometric current was linearly increased from 200 nM to 0.80 mM for each AA, DA and UA and the lowest detection limit was found to be 0.92, 0.07 and 0.57 nM, respectively (S/N = 3). The practical application of the modified electrode was demonstrated by the determination of DA in dopamine hydrochloride injection.

Printed electrochemical sensor for ascorbic acid determination

Simple, strip-type sensors based on 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane-modified graphite were prepared using screen printing techniques. The electrochemical strips operated at low potentials [50 mV at pH 7.0 or 100 mV at pH 4.8 vs. Ag/AgCl (printed)] and had a sensitivity of 3.5–7.1 μA 1 mmol^?1L-ascorbic acid. Determination of ascorbic acid concentration was achieved in 30 s and required samples of ca. 30 μl. The current output of the electrodes was found to be relatively insensitive to variations in pH over the range 5.0–8.5. Between 15 and 35 °C, the temperature coefficient was 2.7% °C^?1. The printed electrodes were suitable for single determinations but demonstrated adequate stability for periodic re-use. The ascorbic acid concentration in the juice of fresh fruit was determined using the electrochemical printed electrodes and a commercially available enzymatic test kit. Close agreement was observed between the two methods [r=0.9997 (n=12),slope=0.9798]. The limit of detection using the printed sensor for real samples was calculated as 4mg l^?1(22 μM).
