| Abstract: | For the determination of progesterone (P4) electroanalytical studies were performed using mercury electrode (HMDE) and screen-printed boron-doped diamond electrode (BDD-SPE). The effects of pH, supporting electrolyte, accumulation potential and time (Eacc, tacc) were studied in both systems. The optimum conditions were: i) HMDE: pH 7,0; Eacc: −0,1 V and tacc: 40 s, ii) BDD-SPE: 0,5 mol L−1 H2SO4; Eacc: 0,0 V and tacc: 120 s. Under these conditions, the detection limit was 3.1 μg L−1 for HMDE and 45.6 μg L−1 for BDD-SPE. Both methods were validated and applied in the P4 determination on pharmaceutical formulations and milk samples. |
