Abstract
Testing ribavirin (RBV) is essential to promote its appropriate clinical use, mitigate resistance development, reduce adverse effects, and safeguard public health. Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) outperforms conventional methods in RBV detection, offering superior sensitivity and reduced background noise. In this work, ECL micro-reactors were prepared by incorporating Ru(bpy)32+ into a mesoporous silica matrix with two-dimensional hexagonal structure (SBA-15). In this configuration, tripropylamine (TPA) was employed as a co-reactant, which interacted with Ru(bpy)32+ to enhance the ECL signal. The quenching effect of ribavirin (RBV) on the Ru(bpy)32+-TPA system was confirmed through its significant suppression of ECL emission. A glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with SBA-15 loaded with Ru(bpy)32+ (SBA-15@Ru) was fabricated as a novel ECL sensor. This sensor enabled the detection of RBV over a wide concentration range 1.0 × 10−9 mol·L−1 to 1.0 × 10−5 mol·L−1, achieving a detection limit (LOD) of 3.33 × 10−10 mol·L−1. Additionally, the sensor exhibited outstanding stability and selectivity and was successfully applied for accurate quantification of RBV in pharmaceutical samples.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry is the foremost international journal devoted to the interdisciplinary subject of electrochemistry in all its aspects, theoretical as well as applied.
Electrochemistry is a wide ranging area that is in a state of continuous evolution. Rather than compiling a long list of topics covered by the Journal, the editors would like to draw particular attention to the key issues of novelty, topicality and quality. Papers should present new and interesting electrochemical science in a way that is accessible to the reader. The presentation and discussion should be at a level that is consistent with the international status of the Journal. Reports describing the application of well-established techniques to problems that are essentially technical will not be accepted. Similarly, papers that report observations but fail to provide adequate interpretation will be rejected by the Editors. Papers dealing with technical electrochemistry should be submitted to other specialist journals unless the authors can show that their work provides substantially new insights into electrochemical processes.
