New Applications of Carbon Paste Electrodes for Determination of Biologically Active Organic Compounds

Abstract

In this paper, new electrochemical determinations of selected biologically active compounds are described employing various types of carbon paste electrodes (CPE) in batch voltammetric methods (differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), direct current voltammetry (DCV), and cyclic voltammetry (CV)) and in HPLC with electrochemical detection (HPLC-ED) utilizing amperometric CPE sensors. The results for determination of cymoxanil, famoxadone, 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone, 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone, chlortoluron, carboxin, triclosan, diafenthiuron, and propyl gallate are compared and discussed.

Glassy carbon spherical microparticles were used as carbonaceous component of the paste. The limits of detection of some analytes were below 1.10-7 mol l-1 in both batch and flow methods.

The newly developed methods of determination were applied to model samples of drinking and river water, soils, and practical samples of edible oil, toothpaste, soap, and toilet water.
