Abstract
An electroanalytical method has been developed for the detection of tinidazole (TNZ) based on electrochemical reduction with a simple and inexpensive self-made screen-printed electrode (SPE). The present study has optimized the analytical method regarding the technique and electrochemical parameters using Differential Pulse Voltammetry (DPV). The calibration curve was obtained with a linear range of 20 μM - 2.7 mM range, with a limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.024 μM and 0.08 μM, respectively. The developed sensor is highly selective with no interference in the presence of amoxicillin, ciprofloxacin, paracetamol, glucose, and uric acid. The study showed excellent results for the analysis of tinidazole in food, water, and other environmental samples which is proved by the excellent recovery of tinidazole in water, honey, milk, and other real samples. The sensor also possessed good repeatability and reproducibility which proved to be a valuable tool for the detection of tinidazole in environment samples and also its application in diagnostics.
期刊介绍:
Electrochimica Acta is an international journal. It is intended for the publication of both original work and reviews in the field of electrochemistry. Electrochemistry should be interpreted to mean any of the research fields covered by the Divisions of the International Society of Electrochemistry listed below, as well as emerging scientific domains covered by ISE New Topics Committee.
