Abstract: | In this work, a method for the fast monitoring of OPs in flow-injection systems was evaluated. The fast Fourier transform continuous cyclic-voltammetry (FFTCCV) at the carbon-paste electrode in a flowing solution system was used for determination of OPs. In this method the S/N ratio is enhanced by using of fast Fourier transform of the analyte and signal integration. FFTCCV can be considered as a new sensitive, accurate and fast method for determination of drugs and some pesticides. However, in order to obtain better sensitivity for a specific target, experimental parameters should be optimized. Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to optimize three effective parameters (enzyme activity, multiwall carbon nanotube quantity and acidic sol–gel quantity). The optimum values for the tested parameters were enzyme amount H0.169 U cm−2, multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) 0.607 mL and acidic sol–gel 1.012 mL. The optimum feed pH, feed flow rate, ATChCl concentration and sweeping-rate were found to be 7.4, 0.34 mL min−1, 0.750 mM and 10 V s−1, respectively. The long-term stability of this flow-through system was 80% of its initial response after 120 days. Based on an incubation time of 12 min, it was found that the detection limit for paraoxon was equal to 1.7 × 10−7 mg L−1 (6.2 × 10−13 M). The developed biosensor exhibited good repeatability and reproducibility. This study provides a new, modern, sensitive tool for the analysis of organophosphate pesticides. |
