Abstract
A novel low-cost voltammetric sensor based on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with sulfur-doped carbon xerogel/manganese/molybdenum (Mn-Mo@SCX/GCE) was designed for the determination of lamotrigine (LTG). The prepared nanocomposite was characterized using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), and N2-adsorption/desorption isotherm. Using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), and cyclic voltammetry (CV), the behavior of the proposed sensor for the oxidation of LTG was investigated. The obtained data revealed that Mn-Mo@SCX/GCE increased the anodic peak of LTG compared to the pristine GCE. The influence of various parameters was investigated, including nanocomposite volume, electrode surface area, scan rate, pH, and accumulation time. The optimal conditions were determined to be 12.5 μL nanocomposite, 0.13 cm2 surface area, pH 4.5, and 30 s accumulation time. Under the optimal conditions, the developed sensor exhibited a linear response toward LTG in the range of 20 nM to 43.04 μM, with a correlation coefficient of 0.9901, a limit of detection of 15 pM, and a limit of quantification of 47 pM. The analytical method validation parameters were investigated, and the developed sensor showed good accuracy, selectivity, excellent repeatability and reproducibility, and high sensitivity. Finally, the proposed analytical method was successfully applied for the quantification of LTG in its dosage forms as well as spiked human serum and urine samples, with high recovery results.
期刊介绍:
The Microchemical Journal is a peer reviewed journal devoted to all aspects and phases of analytical chemistry and chemical analysis.
